The next piece I'm learning is quite easy (La Mantovana) and quite nice, but it doesn't specify what fingers to use. Its mostly on the bass strings so the tendency is to use the thumb and index finger. Only trouble is my thumb nail is almost nonexistent after a minor incident so it doesn't sound well. I have even played it using a pick, but that's cheating right?

It's fine to use fingers on the lower strings - ignore your duff right thumb (rest it on bottom E string) and try right hand fingers 1 and 2 .
