for some recordings people just unscrewed half the bulb off their SM58 and ran it naked. :neocat_magnify: SM57 looks like it just has a flat mesh to start with instead.
from what i heard the reason these are the default is because they're durable and you can just buy and carry a dufflebag of them and they won't be the "wrong" mic for much of anything.
there is always something that you could match better on a per-person or per-instrument basis—but this has to be balanced also with cost in money and cubic.
