The SM58 is still great for a dynamic mic (condensers are good but often pick up too much). Will need a good preamp, though.

Here's a 20$ clone with a switch. Switch is definitely worth it.

Despite it not being a Shure itself, it seems like the clones are fine up to high frequency singing.

I don't know about the clones tbh. I compared a genuine SM58 to a clone once and it had a lower noise floor, as well as better quality in the low range than the clone.

Yeah and a sm58 isn't that expensive, I just bought a mic to have one. When I start recording out an amp I'll probably get a 57.
