Thanks all.
Well, I first tended to go with the 58 and take the ball off when recording instruments. That was my decision after hearing the wrong information saying that the both mics were the same specifications except for the windscreen. But after looking at Shure's sites and the mics specs. I found that the SM58 is not well configured for instruments recording (Extra bass, 50Hz and up while the 57 is 40Hz...) this is while you CAN get a very good vocal sound with the SM 57.
So I'm glad I didn't get that used SM58 this morning (100$) which I could have had by now but would have not be as satified !
Thanks again !
