It's been disgussed ad nauseum, do a search on here. The biggest difference, IMO is the price

The Dime is a little louder and a little more middy.

Yeah, do a search. There are the Bill Lawrence USA pickups, the Bill & Becky Wilde pickups, the Dimebucker, Keystones (name that Bill was calling the Bill & Becky humbuckers before the Wilde name).

I have used a Keystone L500MS (L500XL with coil split lead, 3 conductor) and the Dimebucker, which I have wired as dial-a-tap.

Between the Keystone version and the Dimebucker, I prefer the Dimebucker's crispness. It is brighter than a Duncan Distortion, but has the response of a ceramic magnet. I always found the Keystone L500 kind of dull. If I recall, it is based on an Alnico V magnet.

Didn't somebody do a direct comparison of all the variations of the pickups Dime used in the same guitar?

There was an audio clip comparison posted earlier of the various iterations of the 500 series pickups. My impressions from that comparison were that the Bill & Becky 500 has a more complex midrange, the BL USA 500 has less midrange and is more precise, lastly the Dimebucker is dirtier and has more treble sizzle.

Not so. Dime wasn't using the same amp.

True for Damage Plan he was using Krank Amps which were tubes. Before that it was his SS Randalls I think it was a Warhead he used. I personally liked his tone better with the SS Randalls. I didn't particularly care for his tone with Damage Plan. And also remember Dime never used the Dimebucker at least he did only for a very short time. He never really got with the sound of the pup for whatever reason.
