hello all I'm going to be purchassing a new vocal mic soon and i was 
thinking of buying the standard SM58 or perhaps trying out the Beta 
58 which i really liked using at a show recently.  anyway we are 
going to be doing alot more Big Joe Turner and louis jordan louis 
prima type material now in a new project that i'm going to be workin 
on it will likely be a six or seven piece band and we are going to go 
all out and wear suits and the works so i've been tempted to use the 
new reissuie shure 55 the old Elvis mic does anyone have any 
experience with this mic vocally and how well does it pick up when 
playing acoustic harp behind it? 
Shure 55SH Series II Vocal & Speech Microphone 

****Sorry, no experience with that 55 (looks cool) or beta 58, but 
FWIW, I use the Fireball as a vocal/"acoustic" harp mike and love 
it.  If we are opening for a band, and the house has SM58s set up, I 
replace mine with the Fireball.   Sometimes I have to use my own 
cable because the Audix mike clip for the Fireball does not hold all 
XLR cables well.
