I'm starting to realise that a lot of Bill's tone comes from his right hand technique:
a) He puts his pinky on the scratchplate and hovers over the strings - this allows a pick angle which is at a right angle to the strings.
b) He mainly uses downstrokes - this allows for unusual consistency in tone from note to note.
I think most players use an angled pick stroke for speed and fatness of tone, and also use alternate picking, which produces distinctly different tones on the down and up strokes respectively.
Food for thought.
