Good-bye palm muting then.
I pluck in the neck end area, and the instrument is too long anyway - I've gotten used to shorties by now.
I have experimented with a technique that allow you to pluck by the neck and palm mute; you just use your left foot.
The octagrab might be useful here, you just put your pinky toe in the grab and mute with the foot side or heel.
A nice technique all in all, the only downside is that you look a bit like Ian Anderson when you do it.
So I try to restrict it to studio work exclusicvely.
