I have known about this for a while. I didn't mention it because of its political nature. I did do some research about it a few months ago. Huckabee has been playing bass since he was 11. I don't know when, but at some point he came to prefer Tobias. When he was governor of Arkansas, he convinced the president of Gibson to move the Tobias factory to Arkansas. I'm not sure about this, but I believe that over the summer he bought a Gibson SG RI. However, in the videos I've seen, he is always playing a Tobias. In most of those videos, it seems to be situations in which he was campaigning, was asked to play with a band, and went on stage and started improvising.
