I'm not basing it on one band. That was only one example. I've been mixing at that venue for the last six years, and everybody who brings in Betas does the same hackjob to the EQ's. Like I said, a standard 58 doesn't have those issues.
BTW, if you're hacking up graphs with regular 57's and 58's, then there's something wrong with your setup. I can typically run either of those mics smoking loud with only minimal (like 3-4db) cuts in a couple spots. An ideal PA can be run flat at loud levels and sound great. If you're hacking stuff up with standard 58's, you probably need to take a look at your setup.
