Things I'd tell my younger bassist self 047:

Floating thumb is the fast & dirty way to dampen low strings on a 5-string bass, but it changes your right hand angle & it limits 1st & 2nd finger dexterity. Using the ring finger/pinky is better, but it requires a lot more technique.

You need a five string bass for a lot of reasons. A six string bass probably offers more problems than solutions to people not named Thundercat, John Pattitucci, and Anthony Jackson.
