Is this possible? (string dynamics)

There's no rule against moving your right hand around to pluck in different places as you play. I use all locations between the neck and the bridge on all strings depending on the sound I want. For fast string jumping passages, you may have to compromise somewhere in the middle.

 

+1 This.

 

It is completely understandable: g-string sounds thin plucked at the bridge but E-string sounds muddy at the neck so you gotta compensate.

I pluck above the neck pickup most of the time (i play PJ-style basses), but if i play G or D string, my right hand moves closer to neck to make sound beefier (if i play bassline, not soloing, of course). Recently i've switched to 5-string and i've found that i have to pick B-string much closer to bridge pickup otherwise it lacks clarity.

 

I do almost exactly the same thing. I didn't even notice it until my guitarist pointed it out to me

 

One of the nicer things about a reversed P pickup....

 

Yeah, it's something I've been aware of. I try to do the same thing, basically, but sometimes it's hard to always move for forward for the smaller strings. I mean, it get's hard for me to remember sometimes. Sometimes it comes natural, but not always. I have it bad because I also pick with my nails.

By the way, I can get my PJ bass (Jazz Bass Special) to sound just like a Jazz if I play both pickups and get at the right place on the string for picking it.

 

The reversed P tends to have a more balanced tone from string to string when compared to a regular P.
