$79. Everyday price. MF asks $99.
U-Crest Music
You'd have to call, it's just a mom and pop shop. Nice though.

Haha, Sloan's eternal hate for SM-57's rivals only Shad's hate of Seymour Duncan.

Not sure. I like DiMarzio myself. In fact:

Try DiMarzio
It's like it's destiny or summit.

you know what, I have all sorts of expensive motherfuckers when it comes to microphones, but the 57 has an amazing character when it comes to guitar, drums, and vocals.

it has the sloan seal of approval.
if you don't already own four hundred you need to take a serious look at your life.

I will have to check out this audix though...
and yea, you can get 57s for like $60 on ebay. they're indestructible, it makes no difference if you get a new one or a used one.

Supposedly eBay is flooded with faek sm-57's which is lame. If I recall correctly, SM57's used to sell for $89.00 all day through musician's friend and the like. Somehow a few years back the price went up to $99.00.

He typically cites too much midrange, I believe. The SGuar previously had an all-Duncan line-up.

Yeah sm7s are really damn cool. we use them for everything at the radio station i work at, they do wonders for vocals, and pretty much everything else

I don't have many mics, but I find myself using my old SM57 on most everything. It's got this warm/clear sound that I haven't found elsewhere.

BUMP.
I need a mic.
I've been using a SM58 that belongs to one of the other bands that practices here. I need my own. Recommends? $99 is the max I'll go but I'd like something cheaper if possible. HALP?
