I recently switched from guitar (5 years also, a 2 year music diploma on guitar too) to bass almost 100% in May, and now I pretty much consider myself a Bassist. I am selling off almost all my guitars. Bass is just that awesome.
Floating thumb definately took my playing to the next level, its just a pain in the ass at first but after afew months its worth it.
Death metal picking, is difficult, I dont know if I could do it right now.. In the one "tech metal" band I played a show for, I had to use a pick, it woulda been almost impossible for fingers, esp for me at that time (just a guitarist, playing bass).. But yeh, if you want to use your fingers that badly, get ready for hours apon hours of metronome work. Only way to get fast enough.
