I sometimes use a pick but I mainly use my fingers. When I do use a pick I use a 2.0mm Delrin 500. I'm not sure I'd be very good at teaching you anything ^^;

I'm not familiar with that technique. Usually when I palm mute I'm muting the strings that I'm playing, not the ones I'm not playing.

When you're playing on your highest string, then, how do you keep the lower strings from ringing? I guess most pick players use their fretting-hand thumb for the lowest string or two but that's not really feasible to mute the D string when you're playing on the G... or if you have more than 4 strings...
People say "just rest the side of your picking hand on them" or something like that, like it should be easy, but I haven't gotten the hang of it.

It's the same technique as guitar. Rest the outside of your picking hand thumb along all the lower strings you're not playing and rest the free fingers of your picking hand against the higher ones you're not playing.
