[QUOTE="Chuck Simon, post: 772, member: 264"] The other day a drummer friend of mine proudly showed me his new mic. A brand new Beta Sm58 he got for $90.00 on Ebay. As soon as I saw the mic pouch I was suspicious. Actually, I was suspicious when he told me the price! Even though the pouch had "Shure" written on it, it was shorter than normal. When he handed me the mic it was a lot lighter than a real Beta 58. It came with a box, warranty card, and even a Shure mic clip, but definitely a fake. It sounded kind of bright compared to a real one. Have you guys seen some of these fakes? They are amazingly good imitations that would fool anyone who never handled the real deal. Hard to believe that there is a big enough market out there to justify the manufacture of these counterfeit mics. [/QUOTE]
