Re: The SM58...



It is both IMHO..... and a good violinist can't make a crappy violin sound like a Stradivarius.  The best guitarist can't sound good on a beat up acoustic with poor fret alignment and intonation.


There are reasons for sound providers to have a stock of SM58's.  I can't see any reason for a band providing their own sound to own even one (although as stated, I still keep one around).


If you start making the argument that the sound quality of the equipment doesn't matter, you are left with a carvin powered head and Kustom speakers on a stick wondering why you can't get things to sound good.


On the flip side (and to your point) the best equipment on the planet can not make a horrid singer sound great.
