I recently bought a Shure Beta 52 for my bass rig. I had a couple people recomend the 57, but my hard-headed butt went with the 52. from Musiciansfriend.com This mic is great, if you're not recording an amp. On amps, it some how manages to let only the high's leak through. from Musiciansfriend.com This is one of my favorite mics in this price range and does a fantastic job of providing a warm sound, whether used for vocals, guitar, or drums. I've never had an issue with the beta 57 and would definately add more of these mics for our live sound. from Musiciansfriend.com I use this mic to capture my voice AND my Martin guitar (no electronics). I love the way it picks up my vocal because I can stand aback and sing with power, then come in close and whisper and it seems to pick up everything in that range. from Musiciansfriend.com This is one of the worst microphones I have ever owned for vocals. I normally use a Shure SM57 to sing through. I bought this one after seeing Greg Allman & Warren Haynes singing through one. from Musiciansfriend.com I've used this mic side by side with an sm57 in my little home "studio", initial thinking it couldn't be that much different. But sure enough, the quality and clarity was noticeably better. from Musiciansfriend.com Pros: This is an excellent sounding microphone. Cons: None. from Shopping.com This dealer had the best price I've ever seen on this mic $70. If you know the shure 57's then you know this mic. Buy it! from Amazon.com The Beta series is the step above the incredibly popular SM series by Shure. The 57s are typically used to mic instruments and the 58s mainly for vocals. from Amazon.com My dad bought me this mic for Christmas, when I said I "Needed something to record myself practicing with." I'm not too savvy with this stuff (yet), but I recorded an audition CD on piccolo! with it, and it turned out great. from Amazon.com
