Starting out with a five string...

I'm a week or so in to it and havent touched my 4 string at all. On the 5er if I sit and play finger style I seem to be adapting fairly quickly. Standing up seems to generate more mistakes so I've shortened the strap a little and that seems to help a bit - don't know why though. But if I play with a pick everything seems much harder/less accurate even if I totally lay off the B string and just play the usual stuff on the usual strings. I've been a pick player all my life! Any suggestions? 

You closet guitard. I sentence you to a full month staring at a les Paul whilst the words “why would anyone…” are played repeatedly in the background
