Sounds good, but to my ears they all sound nearly identical. Which did you prefer?

Dimebucker vs USA 500xl for me... I used to use the one from Billy & Becky but it sounds to bassy in comparison, wil change it.

SH-13 & Usa 500xl are VERY similar... Sh-13 is a bit more modern sounding & USA 500xl has AWESOME feel on jason strings (harmonic are way beyond cool)
.. SH-13 it's twice the price of USA 500xl though

If You got the coins... go for Seymour SH-13, it's just newer design and gets the job done

i had a usa 500xl and i loved it. harmonics were super tight and for the price i dont think you could find a better metal pickup

500XL all the way.

Wilde = too much bass
SD = less defined/in your face mids

Good vid man, and thanks for uploading in HD.

Bill Lawrence 500XL for sure.

Just as in real life I have to go with the Bill and Becky. Less trebly and more organic and open sounding to my ears.
