Hi all,
Milt Hinton played on "Trio Jeepy" (at least I think that was the name), by Branford Marsallis. It's just Bass, drums, and sax, so you can hear a lot of what's going on...
Cheers,

One trick you can do, if you can't actually get your finger under the string, is to pluck right where the fingerboard ends. Plenty of room to grab the strings, no matter how low your action is.

i do this same type of style myself, more poping the string with a palm mute..i get a good swing rhythm going..fingers start to hurt after a while but time will take care of that.
i switch between the 2 styles of plucking and finger playing.
