Some of it had to do with the large pick he used with the 1960 Fender "stack-knob" Jazz Bass. Somehow this resulted in a distinct but smooth attack and a natural, full range tone. His bass lines were usually interesting and he wrote or personalized many of them even though he was a studio musician and often worked from charts. |

First name that popped into my head.
Played with Johnny and Edgar Winter, McCoy's.
And, speaking of Johnny Winter, he once played a mean pick bass. Check out what happens at about 3:25, ya gotta love it! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bRd0M41Tw3M
The guy playing guitar/vocals is Jon Paris from Milwaukee, Johnny's bassist at the time. Also a pick player.
Here's one of Paris on bass. No slack! IMO. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q9aFHQG7w5E

Maybe because so many bands can somewhat be classified loosely as prog rock.
I believe it's more 50/50. Below just a short list to make my point (and yes, I forgot some bands, and others can loosely be classified as prock):
Fingers:
Geddy Lee (Rush)
Jim Crichton (Saga)
John Deacon (Queen)
Tony Levin (King Crimson, Yes, ....!!!)
Pete Trewavas (Marillion)
...
Picks:
Roger Waters (Pink FLoyd)
Roger Glover (Deep Purple)
Chuck Panozzo (Styx)
Dougie Thomson (Supertramp)
Billy Greer (Kansas)
... | you left squire off that list. also greg lake (ELP), john wetton (king crimson/ASIA), jeffrey hammond/john glascock (Jethro Tull), mike rutherford (Genesis), and ray shulman (Gentle Giant), all played with a pick.

Pete T is mostly pick (90% pick range) on the Transatlantic stuff. 
Tony breaks out the pick from time to time w/ Peter.
