Hmm, I think Belly is hitting his strings pretty hard in that vid, it sounds like it, theoretically that would sound kinda similar to someone not hitting as hard with humbuckers I think.
What I tried to say is that with certain type of single coil pickups I really find it to have a threshold in picking attack where the modulation sets in whereas with humbuckers it seems to operate a bit more smoothly.
That said my single coil pickups are of the really low output vintage Strat kind and the second (main) riff Belly is playing doesn't use the modulation so that could have something to do with our findings as well.
EDIT:
A bit of a post post I guess...
