I am sat here with in front of me, 1 Shure SM57 and one T Bone MB75. The T Bone mic matches the fake pics exactly, apart from instead of a 'Shure Sm57' label, it's got the t bone one. I don't know how they got away with it really. It's lighter too. I've used the t bones live for gigs. More feedback (approx 80Hz, 4-5k, somewhere higher too). They're awful vox mics too. Reinforcing a loud-ish backline through the PA, it works. The other big difference, drummers hit 57's all the time and the just need the caps putting back on. The T bones don't survive.
I'm not saying the T Bones are the same mic as the fakes, but they fit the description exactly. I'm not suggesting anything, it's just interesting.
