Re: The SM58...That is for sure. The other ya never know part is how the mic has been taken care of. The KMS104 is one of those mics that doesn't seem to take abuse as well as some others. I used a brand new looking one that sounded terrible once and I opened the top to check the capsule and the inner windscreen was covered solid in some kind of crud that looked like greyish brown playdough. It turned out that the owner had been "cleaning" the mic after every use with some kind of antiseptic by brushing it on the windscreen. Ya never know.
