right hand technique

[cameltoe]

I play mostly with two fingers, sometimes three, but one thing I've always noticed is that the rest of my fingers tend to curl up into the plam of my hand. I've noticed that other more experienced bassists kind of spread their non-active fingers across the strings.
I often try and learn some finger funk lines to improve my touch, and have spent a long time perfecting muting (as well as learning to play ghost notes etc) to make the lines pop along a bit and bring them to life, but recently I've been experimenting with drawing my fingers back across the strings when playing, (with a flatter hand, rear of palm closer to E string) so the strings 'pop back' as opposed to flicking or tickling the strings as I normally do. I find that 'pop' of a funk line tends to come out much easier this way, however it does feel a bit unnatural. Much easier for muting, but I find the technique slower and a bit awkward. However, now my dormant fingers are spread out on the strings like some of the better players I've seen. I remember reading when I first researched right hand technique a few years back the the right fingers should do this to some extent, and I'm wondering if it's worth pursung this new right hand technique. I normally play rock music and rely on speed, so whether this technique is suitable for that I'm not sure.

It could be that I've naturally stumbled across the correct right hand technique in my own time. Or it could be that i need to work on it but it will only work for finger funk etc.

I wouldn't worrry about it unless you have damping issues.

I think the right needs to be relaxed as much as possible so I let the hand form naturally in that respect.

I am not sure there is anything to be gained one way or another...but if you lose speed, then that is a minus.
