Members Queequeg Posted August 15, 2007 Members Share Posted August 15, 2007 oh yeah. shameless endorsements. You know he has a gold tooth with diamond inset. I hear he travels with his posse in a stretch Humvee and is set to launch a global marketing campaign for his new clothing line. He's known in the hood as "3B-fish" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members knockwood Posted August 15, 2007 Members Share Posted August 15, 2007 Whether intentionally or not, I think the title of your thread may be extremely misleading and potentially offensive. Hopefully you are just kidding around and I've misunderstood, and if that's the case I apologize for being thick. If not, though... What you're seeing from Baba being quoted in that eBay page is a very common HC Gear Review - there are thousands like it on this site, including two or three from me on guitars I own or have owned. Nothing to do with paid endorsement. No $ involved. These reviews are posted by forumites to help others looking into buying a particular model get a read on how satisfied that model's customers are... Baba is an upright cat and a highly respected forumite who wouldn't engage in any such shill behavior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assumed jerime was kidding and understood how that happened, especially since the ebay ad includes a date indicating his post is a really old one and couldnt be connected to this ebay sale. baba owns a Parkwood and has stated on a few occasions how much he likes it. The guy selling this shouldn't have used his name without his permission. Somebody call RIAA. baba- he's OK in my book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jerime Posted August 15, 2007 Author Members Share Posted August 15, 2007 Sorry, I was just kidding. I kinda thought after I posted that I didn't really drop much of a hint at that. Anyway I was just posting half because I thought it was a little amusing and half because (like Queequeg said) I don't really think the guy should have used his name and it should be brought to his attention.

Members babablowfish Posted August 15, 2007 Members Share Posted August 15, 2007 Hi guys - No offense taken jerime and thanks guys for the kind words of support. Yeah, I wrote this review for Harmony Central when I first got my Parkwood. I still love it, stand by my endorsement of it and think it was a really good buy. I am embarrassed however to see that I wrote that it has a "compensated bidge" What the hell is a bidge? And shouldn't that have been "compensated saddle" anyway? As far as this guy quoting me, I guess I gave up any rights when I posted the review on the web. It doesn't bother me. Here's a picture of me playing my Parkwood at a recent concert in the park: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Queequeg Posted August 15, 2007 Members Share Posted August 15, 2007 Baba, you handsome devil, you. No wonder the women won't leave you alone.I'm all the happier now with my decision to follow in Kwak's footsteps of the "headless" video of a week or so ago.

Members recordingtrack1 Posted August 15, 2007 Members Share Posted August 15, 2007 Is that a 3/4 size guitar you're playing? Yeah, no kidding. You make that Jumbo look small. I own a jumbo and people always ask me, "where did you get that big guitar?" By the way, it really is a great looking git. and you look good playing it too!
