It depends on the band that I'm gigging with.
Both of my avant-garde metal bands I usually bring four basses in either all 6 stringers or a mixture of 4-6 stringers.
The gothic metal band only two a 4 and a 5 stringer.
I've tried both pickups in two different instruments and they're just smoother versions of the ceramic X's.
Attack is smoother and not peaky as the ceramics.
It's a CARB(California Air Resources Board) regulation that Birchwood Casey wouldn't fight off. They got gun shy after they lost a $500,000 in a lawsuit from CARB/BAAQMD.

EMG X's are like the regular EMG's running at 18V.
They have deeper low and crisper highs that still retains the mid-range clarity of the regular EMG's.
