Prueba a tocar con un guante de billar puesto, el ataque se enmascara aún más y suena realmente interesante ( más parecido al contrabajo) además tienes el dedo anular sin guante y se pueden destacar líneas melódicas por la diferenciación de timbre. ¡Buen video! / Try playing with a pool glove, the attack is masked even more and sounds really interesting (more like the double bass) in addition you have the ring finger without glove and melodic lines can be highlighted by the differentiation of timbre. Good video!
Stephen, most of my playing will be with 4-5 other uke players. Thumb strumming is more natural to me now. While I’m starting out, learning the fretboard and getting used to bass, playing with the thumb delays one additional challenge for now. Your thoughts?

Very cool idea! ironically, I use a pool glove to play upright bass sometimes!
Is one method inherently better than another?
That's a tough question. each is better for different things.
