Rufuss - unfortunately you failed to mention what - to me anyway - are the two most important things: the mic and the pre. If you're using a 57, I'd suggest trying an M201 or and i5. I think both would give you more snap. Also, make sure you're miking either the side or the bottom and mix it in to taste.
