you are somewhat correct in that, the strength in which you pick does change the sound of the bass, but from experience I've found that picking really hard gives it a kind of pull/slap sound, which doesn't fit in very well in BM (what I play) unless you play it really really fast and with high tones almost maxed out.
but of course, everyone has a different opinion.. this is just my own from experience, I'm sure others can give you better orientation than me
