dub Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 I've got a shure SM58 in perfect working order with a slight dent in the grille. I'd like to do a direct swap for a shure SM57 in fully working order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joegarcia Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 Don't see the point in my opinion. An SM58 is just as good as an SM57 for guitar cabs and anything else you'd use a 57 on. All the guitars on OK Computer were recorded with 58's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangerboy Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 Isn't a 58 just a 57 with a windshield? That's what one friend told me. Not my most reliable friend, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
