Different technique to using plectrum on bass different to 6 string?

[Greggo]

I've come to conclusion that my plectrum playing on bass needs work to tighten up and have been reading up on Carol Kaye method and it feels strange but is slowly improving this area.

Does anyone agree that the techniques for playing bass with a plectrum are (or should be) different to on guitar?

On guitar I find if I'm playing single notes I anchor pinky on pick guard but doing this on bass limits my playing somewhat due to wider string span.

To be honest, Ive never even thought about it. I play mainly with fingers, but use a pick when I want good attack. I dont think of any difference in technique when Im playing a guitar apart from the fact that I tend to use a heavier pick on the bass
