Default Vintage Shure 55c, trouble getting good sound quality

Could you live with an omni? *You could block up a 55 body and install
a small omni capsule. *You'd still have all the awful edge effects of
the grille, but you wouldn't have to worry about rear venting which
would take a lot of the nastiness off. *Unusable for PA work, but fine
for TV.


Yeah, I think that's what I might do, though I'm nervous about costs,
but I guess I've already sunk a lot into this, a little more won't
hurt. I thought the bullet is omnidirectional, but you said its junk,
right?

Honestly, I've used the 55 SH before, and I love the way it sounds.
It's not pro quality, but good enough for me, if that helps explain
what I'm looking for.

Again, thank you all for your help. It's greatly appreciated, and I
hope I'm not annoying or distracting from more productive discussions
in this group. I just really needed some quality advice, because I'm
pretty new to this.

Thanks,

Adam
