Kenny Boy, Down here (NZ) we use all the notes on the bass.
What method is most prevalent in New Zealand?? I'm a student of the Petracchi technique which in my opinion is the most thought out method of thumb position and no where does it suggest you play anything above the E harmonic on the E string. It's simply just not going to sound as good as on the A string and it will be less in tune.
