Another reason I like the SM57: when I'm recording a live performance, and one of the dickwads decides to do the Punk Flail, and smashes one of my mics to the floor, I'm glad its an SM57 instead of something valuable.
Takes a lickin' and keeps on tickin'.
I don't think a Neumann would sound any better than an SM57 on an overdriven Ampeg 810 with a frantically strummed P-bass.
