I use a regular SM57 for recording guitar. I have also used it on bass, with decent results so long as the recordingis done at relatively low volume.

I prefer the plain SM57. If the beta is technically better, it tends to get too agressive high frequencies on guitars.

The best mic I've found for bass guitar is the Beyer-Dynamic M88. Around $300. I know, I know its supposed to be a vocal mic, but what works is what works.

I have switched from the SM57 to a Studio Projects B1 for guitar cabs. It just sounded fuller to me. Anyone else use it? According to studio projects, it takes an spl of up to 132db, and I have not had any problems.

Personnally I avoid putting condenser mics in front of my amp. The 57 does the job just fine.

I have found out that sm57 mic is bad for studio recording. It is best mic for live shows but for studio are condenser mics.

I agree, Shure 57 is the best (without spending a ton of money) for guitar. 
 
II'd suggest a condenser mic for vocals though.
