Are you positive you have a genuine SM58 and not an ebay copy? I have been in studio sessions where 58s have been A/B with £3000+ condenser microphones and at times the 58 won out. They are certainly a well proven mic of choice for letting vocals cut through mixes in live applications, and also appear on a surprising number of rock albums as the studio vocal mic. In the studio I prefer condensers for vocals, but recently had a live studio session featuring a female singer and a male singer who sang in falsetto in certain sections. I was very pleased with the results - the vocals came through very clearly with no problems on the top end.
I would suggest checking that the mic is real, checking cables, and looking at your PA or maybe adding some top on the mixer. I agree with woodman that the SM7B is a superb mic, but most people can also get great results with a 58
