Always a treat when you see Wes slingin some new heat

The Jupiter definitely sounds more focused and well balanced. The low end is something that shines for me over the dimebucker.

Hauch is one of the tightest players I've ever seen.

I always said that to darrell's ears, it probably sounded just right, but taken to account that his hearing was probably very damaged, we aren't hearing what he's hearing

Forgot how many cool riffs are in even the lesser pantera songs.

Jupiter definitely got more clarity and tighter low end.

I definitely prefer the Jupiter. I'm sat listening through my monitors right now with my eyes closed and I can really notice how nasaly the Dimebucker is in comparison. The jupiter sounds more well-rounded overall, with a teeny weeny bit more presence to me. I still remember you playing that solo to me on Skype when you were first nailing it haha, glad to see it in a vid finally!🤘

Dude in the last few days i was learning some Alluvial chops, was thinking about you quite often. Now you upload again, thats a sign!

Wes you just melted my face off with that solo, besides Dime himself, that was the best I've ever heard.

Yea, they share some similarities but reckon the Jupiter is the better pup. Even if people are saying they're a repackaged Dimebucker, who cares? I won't say no to a pickup that sounds like a more modern Dimebucker!

That's awesome...I just ordered the Jupiter pickup thanks to your video!

Wes your an absolute beast on the guitar man. I've been checking out your stuff for a few years now and your definitely one of the best axe slayers out there brother. Your creativity is off the chain and I appreciate you sharing.

This was an excellent video Wes! You’re extremely talented brother, I love watching you play it’s absolutely incredible! Dimebucker clearly had a fatter bass response and a super cool scooped EQ curve in the pickups overall tone and reaction to your picking and palm mutes. Your signature Jupiter rails Humbucker was definitely a bit more articulate, tighter with more midrange bite, rather than a scooped midrange feel. I actually like them both I’ve used the Dimebucker in my old Dean guitars and clearly it’s a 90’s metal bad ass were I feel the Jupiter performs that sound great but it’s also perfect for the more modern day tone too.

Dimebucker man. Can't beat that crunch, I love it.

Fabulous playing

Absolutely great guitar work. Well done! 😉👍

Liking the video during the ad before the video

I have the dimebucker. I absolutely love it. But definitely buy this one as well. Looks sick.

I hear way more mids in the Jupiter...and BTW....I've yet to hear a better dime solo recreation than this man here! I mean DAMN...if I close my eyes I literally hear dime playing again. This is the dude I'd want to see playing in that Pantera reunion. It's a no fckin brainer IMO. Excellent dime recreation though, absolute top notch.

love that black dime sick

Sick tone Wes. I love the chunkiness of the Dimebucker but would pick the Jupiter personally. Those squeals really do jump out with the Jupiter and the lead tone is less harsh. Awesome playing as always

Forget the pickups... You absolutely nailed Dime's performance it was a treat to watch. Insane really well done!

Great comparison.

This is the sickest video ever!

You’re the fkng man! I would love to have an album of you at ITunes, so I can support your music! Cheers.

Yeah I like the Jupiter more for sure, way more clarity especially on the low end, you can hear all the notes clearly and their not clumped together. But the dimebucker still sounds good especially on the higher frets

Dimebucker's are definitely made for dimebag. Extra muddy but made to shred. They're great i have some in my jackson. They are designed for the guitarists that ARE THE SHOW, just like dimebag was. Play the meanest crunchiest riffs known to man then follow it by the most insane solo you've ever heard. He knew exactly what he was doing when he designed these he made them for him and thats why I have them in my guitar because they're from him. RIP BROTHER

Holy cow the lightning on that axe is absolutely sick.

So killer, can't wait to pick a set up once I stop procrastinating and sell some of this excess gear

Hey wes another obsessed dime fan here and was wondering if u would do a whole video on just your dimebag guitars and the history behind them and stuff because yours are very different from all the others of the same type and year when looking at older videos or pictures seems like yours come with totally different specs may it be small things like your dimebolt having a natural dimebolt with a symmetrical headstock when normally d3s are the offset ones and the 3st was the only that seems to have the bigger symmetrical headstock and etc. Would love to see it and I know all the other fans would as well. Hope to see more of those gorgeous guitars in the future here. I dont have the money to drop on one of those in today's market but I did pick up the equivalent lately just bought the USA custom shop dime slime and the usa custom shop 1 out of 100 far beyond driven ml. Insane quality and would just live to see more usa dime guitar videos especially about all us superfans dream guitars which is literally what your collection is haha.

Sick

Dude the Jupiter sounds killer!

Like the Dimebucker more.

Either way they sound great.

Learning message in blood rn..weird i came across this video ...those pickups sound great..

What a beast! 👊 😎👊

Intro: Dimebucker: 0:01 Jupiter Mix: 1:01 Chug riff Dimebucker: 0:10 Jupiter: 1:10 Schizophrenic riff Dimebucker: 0:34 Jupiter: 1:34 Isolated Tracks begin 2:04 Solo: Dimebucker part: 2:58 Jupiter part: 3:26

Some hertz tuning thrown in! Would be fun to see you on Coffee with Ola Englund, and have you both go crazy on these guitars.

So sick As if I wasn’t sold before lol

You and Ducan made for a tasty pickup!!! :)

The jupiter is like a more mix ready dimebag i love them both

Just got a dimebucker on a used Laguna en322. Sounds pretty heavy thru a ehx metal muff with gain at 12 o'clock on my 15w monoprice tube amp. Cant wait to get a set of allen keys to properly intonate it

Badass!!

Even though this video is a pickup comparison, I'm just constantly staring at that dimebolt, holy shit, it's so good looking.

Can I have both?

What I hear in the Jupiter is that it’s less sizzly, tighter, a little more present in the midrange and clearer. It sounds very cool.

I got that pick up. And did it on my neck pickup. It was sounds I wanted, plus my amp was crap. So I had an emg for bridge and the dime for neck… sounds pretty bad saying it. but it worked out for me.it put the dime reverse and it got my some crazy cleans and it’s hot so not much volume drop. I can play” black label society” “bridge to cross tone on cleans. Lol this pick up is for your bridge, but try it in your neck reverse, sounds amazing for cleans, not so much other stuff. But chorus and all that it’s cool.

Never dug the dimebucker , always liked BL / Wilde better. But, your Jupiter's are next fucking level. A new level.....

killer gutiar playing and killer lightning washburn gutiar.. they both sound fantastic and i would like them both in separate gutiars.

I really loved Pantera with Zakk, but Wes is THE man to fit dime shoes

Question for you Wes... What distance from the strings do you use or recommend with this Jupiter? I just put mine in and love it, just curious to how you set your height.

What’s the body wood of the Jupiter guitar?

Hey Wes, I'm planning on replacing the stock pickups in my Schecter 6 string. I'm 100% gonna put the Jupiter in the bridge but what pickups do you feel pair nicely for the neck, other than opting to go with the set?

I am definitely not a modern metal guy, I’m more into Maiden and Priest but man, these Jupiter pickups sound fantastic, I have them in a Strat and an Explorer and they definitely do classic metal really really well, highly recommended

Do you prefer the Washburn Dimes over the Deans?

They both sound great. Can you please tell me all of the guitar parts that Dime used? My Dad has tons of guitar pick up's and all kinds of guitar part's and I have a Shecter , ESP, Fenders and a Jackson and he said he can make them all sound amazing. He just took my Fender last night, so I'm excited to get it back, to hear the sound difference.

Sounds to me like a better tonezone or im wrong? My previous guitar had it and reminded me a lot how good is the tonezone and a all around pickup! Now im stuck into EMG 81-85 haha and im ok!👍

I listened to this with my eyes closed and every time I preferred the Jupiter.

Are you using the Jupiter neck pick up as well or rockin something different?

That dimebucker is legendary, the Jupiter is an renovation, ill be looking into these Jupiter's

yo wes , do u like the dimebucker sound ? whats ur take on the pickup itself

DB for me!

Has anyone tried a cover on these? Sounds great 👍👍

Is this through Kemper?

I can't tell the difference? They both sound great

I think I'd like the Dimebucker more for jamming and the Jupiter more for recording.

To my ear and studio monitors, the Jupiter sound a little more refined in the highs and high-mids, with less or "tighter" low end. the dimebucker's low end sounds like it has more plume to it, but like it's a proximity effect from how you're palm muting maybe? I also noticed some like high end hair in the Jupiter mix, but its the kind I hear in distorted bass guitar, so I wonder if because the Jupiters are more clear, it allowed that frequency to come out a bit while the dimes masked it more

The Jupiter has a big sound , like Jupiter being big ! 😆😆 it’s definitely more pronounced in the mid range. You have it a big footprint to be able to be heard and felt . I def want to look into the 7 string version for either of my 2 , 7s .

Both sound great but man where else can I hear you? You're playing is tight af!

Jupiters sound like it has more kids, maybe a little "tighter". Dimebuckers sound scooped

Definitely a lot more mids in the Jupiter. I prefer the dimebucker outside of the rest of the mix, but add the drums and bass and the Jupiter really, really shines

Monstrous tone. Monstrous right hand.

That bend at 0:21 so nasty!

That is the shit!

Dimebucker sounds more scooped, to me. But both sound great

Hey Wes if you ever feel like selling one of those D3’s hit me up my man

Fucking love it, can’t wait to throw a Jupiter in me ML

Why cant you play the 9's? I was thinking of going back to them, I've been playing 10-52 in D standard for a while.

wes that was fucking blazing dude. You do the big guy proud.

From where I'm listening, the Jupiter had more detail and sounded a bit bumped around 800Hz. Not quite as beefy, though, and a tad less hot, seemingly?

fuck yeah dood

They sound pretty similar. Great tone tho 🤘🏼

dimebucker has a more classic vibe going on more low end both are sick.

It's cool you tune to 432hz \m/

He should've been asked to play with Pantera for the reunion -real talk

Dimebucker has a sharper attack to it almost too sharp. The Jupiter sounds way more versatile in my opinion. It’s got good attack but not too much, nice lows, and great mids. It also has a smoothness to it that you can def hear when compared to the dimebucker.

Jupiter sounds tighter in the bottom end and clearer in the upper register, has better mids and less harshness. All around a better pickup

What jackass disliked this video? This is pure guitar playing at its best and playing some of Darrel’s best imo. I love the Dimebucker and now well.... Ima have to get my hands on a Jupiter!

More throat less nasal. Great note clarity. Now just to decide which axe gets one.

They both sound similar but the dimebucker, wins for me.

I was just enjoying the riffage and went halfway thru before I realized FFS! I'm supposed to be comparing! I dunno.. everyone is saying Jupiter but I think the Dimebucker is more dynamic and sounds more appealing to my ear.

Such an underrated Pantera song ! Weird to hear it in a different tuning tho'.

Great playing, this video could be used to sell Kempers, the tone is perfect

I hear that the Jupiter is just a bit more focused and less sludgy than the dimebucker. They’re definitely not galaxies apart, but they are different.

💙💙💙💙💙💙

im sure thats your personal kemper profile?! what is it WES? as far as the pickups i think the jupiter has a much more controlled low end, its tight and punchy where the dime gets you that old school chug so to speak. as far as leads the dime is just a tad less in low end and mids compared against the jupiter, not by much, but noticable to MY EARS!. looked like you did solos on both bridge pickups bro. but yeah, 2 different beasts for sure.

上头了！

Message in Blood! Dimebucker i.m.o 🤘🤘

Physco holiday. Excellent choice
