Any bike is a good bike to ride before a good sound session.
I once had a Klein Attitude, but sold it due to my propensity to flip over the handle bars. Next in line was a GT GTS, full suspension with a carbon fiber frame, That did not survive my collision with a large elm tree.
I now ride a Banshee Scirocco on dry trails, and a souped up trek 930 in the mud.
To tell you the truth, I really love the feel of the steal frame. It does not beat me up at all, and gets me home without a tender rump.
This makes sitting down during a listening session, much more pleasant.
