Would someone have the time and ability to make this statue of Zeus be rocking a bass?

kind of an odd pose to be playin' bass. Looks more like he's getting ready to chuck a javelin at some poor wench who refused to be raped by him.

Are you sure you want a guy holding a bass hung like that?

Greek Gods weren't well endowed, were they?

He is mid-windmill in the pose and appears to play with a pick... Maybe a lesson from RHCP's guide to tube socks would be in order?

I heard they were all growers, not show-ers.

There has been an argument which suggests that's actually a statue of Poseidon, holding a trident in throwing pose rather than it being Zeus with his thunderbolt in hand.

Done. Wasn't that hard either.

That's potentially a pretty awesome chop job.

Also to the OP: Red Fraggle!

Yeah. Without the missing spear/lightening bolt, we'll never know I guess... I'm actually inclined to think Poseidon because if it was Zeus it would make more sense to me that he be casting his lightening bolts in more of a downward fashion towards Earth.

Step 1: Cut a hole in your bass...

I think he should be holding the bass as a spear, like it's his weapon.

I'm pretty sure that's Poseidon. I recognize the face on the statue

That would make sense.
