It has happened to me with guitar. I realized that I started playing it Jeff Beck-style - thumb and finger. Still got a pick stuck behind the nut but I hardy ever use it now.
On bass I'm still about 50-50. Was 90% pick but for the last 3 years I'm in a big band, and swing walking lines are much more natural fingerstyle.

(Inquisitively) The nut or the pick? Confusing news like that always disconcerts me!
Sounds uncomfortable at the very least, but you hopefully alternate between left and right. 8)

Never thought of that... a white Buck Dharma pick I got from an early 80's BOC gig is wedged into the neck pup as a finger rest... been there for a few decades now...

Ah, harvester of picks!
Always loved that riff, it was industrial before industrial was invented.
Did someone mention slapping?
