Resting ones thumb

[Verbannter]

I've seen many artists laying their thumbs on the strings above where they're playing, however I find myself always positioning my thumb on the pickup or floating asides when I am playing slap. Is there anything wrong with this?

Edit: I play a 6 string

Nope, you're fine. Putting your thumb on the strings is a great way to mute, but floating and anchoring on the pickup are fine too.
