Tom Ellis said: The wonderful 545:  My favorite mic...........snip............  Although
there are some 545s that sound as good as PE54s, my 40 years of experience
with these mics is that the PE version sounds fatter/thicker, with much
stronger bass response and a bit less treble on the high end than the 545.

  Tom, thanks for the clarifications.  So Butter used definately used a pistol grip  545S and PE54.  Were the PE54's that Butter used 
pistol grips with switch?  Curiously, I couldn't find any PE54's on the Shure website.  By now u probably saw the pictures Rob P sent, 
which included a pistol grip PE54 that he got from you.  It has a switch but no "S" in the model designation.
   If the PE54 sounds "fatter/thicker, with much stronger bass response and a bit less treble on the high end than the 545",
 then why is the 545 your favorite mic?
