Kurt could jam, he could play and write just fine. But nothing he ever put out spoke to me in quite the way Bill's solos and leads did. IMO Bill was a way better writer and much more technically skilled player, and Kurt generally wrote simple and direct stuff but that doesn't mean he sucked or anything.
Define 'good' - it's apples and oranges as far as I'm concerned. No comparison to be made. And gear's beside the point. Neither of them used it as any kind of crutch.
