What microphone do you use and or prefer?

I play a solo acoustic thing mostly in/at the cafe', pub type environment with the occasional warm weather bar/patio and or outdoor venue like a fair or etc. My set lists are comprised of contemporary and popular stuff from tyhe last 4 decades (from The Kings of Leon and The Foo Fighters to Neil Young and Bob Dylan and everything in between.

My guitars used vary but I typically bring/play an acoustic electric 6 string and a hollow body guitar (once in a while I will bring a 12 string too) and other than a PA (where I run the vocals and the guitars) I use a Vocalist LIve 3 harmonizer processor (I use this on about 5-9 songs per gig typically playng around 55 songs per).

I am currently using a Shure Beta 58A microphone. It's consistent, typically worry and trouble free and delivers but I am always on the lookout for new product and am wonderign what some of use out there are using, why, and if you are happy with your choice?

I recently tried an Audix om7 and was pretty disappointed. it was a superb piece of equipment but I think better suited for a singer who holds the microphone and plays louder venue and such. The Audix also had a pretty small sweet spot which for me was an issue only because I stand when I play and sing and am usually not right "on top" of the microphone when I sing. As I play guitar I move around some as you could imagine and having such a small sweet spot produced inconsistent pitch, tones and amplification.

So is everyone using?
