Death Metal bassist seeking help

[Roja]

Dear anybody who can help me,

I'm a bass player, who is searching for the right pickup for death metal. I have a PASSIVE Ibanez GSR 205 (5 string) and was wondering which pickup would suit that bass.for the intended style. Please be so friendly as to respond, unlike EMG.....

I called the bass player in my band about this and this is what he uses [not knowing if you use a 4-5-6 string this is what he has and loves]


we play some death corpse-lamb of god etc. / nu metal like slipknot mudvayne

I'm gonna suggest the EMG route. Gives you tones of cut, but not much natural tone. Great for death metal.
