Can ou put the Rio Grande diamond plate on any pup?

Those things look badass. I'm gonna have a custom Jazz Master made soon with a HB in the bridge. I was thinking the EVH, but that diamond plate looks so awesome. I don't really want to try a Ri Grande pickup though since I've had such good luck with my Duncans

Rio Grande makes damn fine pickups. Try it out.

is there one that would give me the same kind of sound as an EVH?

I hear the Rio Grande BBQ will give you an overwound PAF Van Halen tone

I've read that it's a very bass heavy, hot sounding pickup. It doesn't seem like what I want.

I want something similar to my Alnico Pro 2, maybe with some richer harmonics and just a TAD hotter.
