I don't mean to derail this thread, but are there any ibanez basses with relatively large string spacing or a relatively wide neck? Cause I love Ibanez but I have gigantic hands lol.

Cort Curbow 5...It's a bit weird looking, but it is one of the most comfortable basses on the planet. It has an active Bartolini pickup, active EQ, and a fairly slim and comfortable neck.

Cort Curbow, Ibanez SR series. HAve you thought about scale length?

Last time I tried a Schecter Stiletto Studio I was surprised at how easy it was to play (have small hands myself), so maybe that's worth looking into? it's a 35" scale though 
Maybe you should bring her to a music store and try some different 5 string basses, and based upon what she likes we'd be able to give a better advice?
Remember to either make her post a NBD thread, or do it yourself!

If she learns to play with her thumb behind the neck the. Most things should be fine. My hands are smaller than most women's (I'm ~5'4") and I cope fine with 6string basses. Have her try Jazz Bass types as I find their necks to be slightly narrower and rounder in radius which seems to make things easier.
