I've tried that one before with a pick and could last maybe a verse and probably slowed down the band in the process
but I've been practising since the pandemic hit with a pick and have gotten considerably better although I still doubt whether I could last through that whole song with all downstrokes but much better. I like both flatwound sound and angry piano, Entwistle was a hero of mine when younger, I think you get a great sound. I have Rotos RS66's on almost all my basses now.I've always wished I were a better pick player as to me you get a better sound with both rounds and flats with them, much more articulate although I can play pretty clear with my fingers so basically I've been woodshedding over here for two years now and play almost all day so I've improved in several areas and pickstyle is one of them. When I was a kid first learning guitar I used to play for hours too, it got to the point where it just felt natural to have a guitar around my neck, it now feels the same way with a bass.
I was also told that you could make both upstrokes and downstrokes sound the same, I haven't yet. I think all downstrokes sounds a lot better anyway, I'm not a light player, I don't kill them anymore but I think your touch has a lot to do with your sound.
