Pick Muting Technique?

[Outshined91]

Just had a general question: I've been playing fingerstyle almost my entire bass life and I just picked up a pick (get it? Haha ) the other day and really enjoy it too. But, what is the general technique for muting when crossing strings? Could not seem to get that down - normally I use a floating thumb when playing fingerstyle but obviously that would not work with a pick... help appreciated!

Usually it's the side of the palm of the picking hand.

^ this, and/or using your fretting hand when possible.

I also pick with the motion like I’m twisting a door knob (as opposed to flicking the wrist back and forth) and found it made muting easier.

If you're picking near the bridge, usually it's your palm.
If you're picking closer to the neck, usually it'll be your left hand.
But you should combine both as needed to sound good.

While the right edge of the hand is muting the unplayed strings,the left hand fingers are muting unplayed strings above the picked strings.
