how often do u cut ur nails

ive kinda developed a way of being able to get the pick-like fingernail tone along with the rounder fingerpicking tone. wat i do it have it just long enough at the tips, but file away the the left side of all my right hand nails so that when i have my wrist at a slight angle and play, i can get that round tone.

im wondering if anyones heard of another bassist that utilizes a similar technique? its working well for me but im not sure if itll be too good for me in the long run.. haha i dunno :confused:
