« Shure SM-57 »
Published on 08/29/10 at 15:00Straight black, all metal, SM-57 Shure microphone. Standard issue in just about every recording studio on the planet, next to the SM-58. I've been using it for vocals as well as mic'ing my bass cabinets or even my upright when I'm playing with Ribbons: www.myspace.com/ribbonsmakemusic.
I got it a long time ago from Pianos 'n' Stuff in Blawnox, PA, in their used department. I needed a microphone, so I got this one, since it was a good brand name, and a fairly standard microphone. It was only $29.99 there, so I was pretty happy.

Even beat up and stomped on (and this microphone certainly has been, long before I got my hands on it), it still puts out some really sweet tones when you sing or play through it. It's very dry, but still has a warmth that it adds to the sound, not unlike a ribbon mic might. No distortion, no static, and overall, no problems with it whatsoever.
I have no qualms. Sure the grill is dented, but that's merely cosmetic.
I'm pretty sure if it's survived whatever put those dents in the grill and all the scratches all over it and still puts out sound comparable to a brand new SM-57 (and it does, believe me!), then I'm pretty sure I could chuck it into the Grand Canyon, go down, pick it up, and play a show with it right then. Nothing short of dynamite will hurt this thing.
Fantastic piece of gear. For under $100, I can't think of anything better.
