DiMarzio Evo 2 pickup???
Im thinking about getting it is it good? i havent really heard many bands with it or maybe i dont even know they use them lol. Im also playing a mix of melodic black death metal say like old gates of ishtar mixed with dissection gotheburgish black metal and yeah if i do get it.... it will be coming out through a 5150?

It is good. It will be good through a 5150. As are many other pickups, through many other amps.

Haha. Dude, 99% of guitars are made of wood. Your basswood RG370 is no exception.

Go to Dimarzio's Official Website : http://www.dimarzio.com/
...and find the link to the Pickup Picker at the bottom right.
Obviously, from there you wanna pick Humbucker -> Bridge -> High Gain, Metal, Basswood, Locking Trem, Solid, and then what do you want to solve.. you have like 4 choices, I'd say yours would probably be 'More Output'. See what results you get.
In my personal opinion for you I'd recommend the X2N.

You do realize that's a totally rhetorical question.
Lots of high gain pickups can be used for lots of different high gain music.
Yes, the Tone Zone is an awesome pickup, Carl Tidemann uses it on the first Arcturus album and his tone is superb.

Crayadas, I'd go for EMG 81 in the bridge, or an EVO or X2N. Also, are you Moises from Las Vegas? If so, its Andrew, just wondering when you're gonna get Stench back together.

Sure thing man. Just send the files in GP4 format, since I won't use GP5.
