EMG Bass Pickups

Like the 81/85 for guitar, what is/are the 'Best' or go-to active pickup(s) from EMG for 5 string bass?

When looking for some active pickups for our bass-player's Warwick, the importer recommended the EMG-40J. Mind you, we were looking to add some mids to the sound. Whatever you decide to get, make sure that it will fit or else there's some wood-work to be done

I don´t know if it has 5 string versions, but I love my two EMG 35-DC. Best pickups I´ve ever heard.

Another vote for the 35-DC - sounded amazing in the ESP B bass I had.
