This is just a yay thread, got my first sm58 yesterday in amazing shape, no dings or anything very well taken care of. $50 and sounds perfect.. The mic collection starts to grow =) slowly.

I was pretty suprised how "flattering" that mic is to voice.. It's almost like it lefts a few of the imperfections pass since it's not picking up EVERY tiny sound.
 
Thats a great deal!

Make sure it isnt fake. I think there is a thread that explains how to check for counterfits.
 
It starts with a $50 mic. It then starts lumbering like a Juggernaught towards that ELAM-251....
 
I bought it from a reputable guy, after doing some internet searching he has apparntly engineered or produced (not sure which) a couple of bigger hits back in the day.. he was very nice and let me test it (set it up to his system for me) and dind't even blink when I started looking at the xlr connector (looking for numbers as that's a normal sign of a fake if they arent), plus the right color wires.

He also had an awesome console, presonus studio live 32 channel I think, but I didn't get a chance to count.

Mic was in almost perfect shape, obviously it had been pulled in and out of a stand, but hey for $50 what a deal.

great guy too.
 
So that should be 1 of everything now I guess, I should be good to record lol

1 LDC (AT 2035)
2 SDC Matched pair (MXL 993)
1 SM58

Now all I have to do is find some talent and I can run this show =)

Mind you i'm not in the same league as some folks here.
