Could he still have done it if the jazzmaster never existed?

Maybe
Nolan Nelson
that was ideal but there's a lot of guitars in the world. it came from his playing first and foremost.
Mason King
yes u can literally get the same effect with any guitar
it was all pedals
good pedal chain > any expensive guitar
Jack Foster
Bilinda a CUTE
Tyler Price
yes *but* a big part of it was the way the bridge and trem arm on jags and jazzmasters are set up, do u not agree? maybe bigger than the pedals?
they wouldn't have done *it* without that aspect of the guitar but they would have done something just as impactful, i think. a huge part of it *is* the sheer amplification and subtle use of pedals. but the use of the trem arm is also key.
David James
The Jazzmaster was cheap as balls at the time. Anyway, what made it all possible was actually the 20-30 vocal tracks on just about every song.
Nathan Brown
they were all beautiful. bilinda has aged the best though
Oliver Myers
You can do the same thing with a bigsby, if he really wanted to use something like that he could have used a gretsch or something. The jazzmaster vibrato was supposed to be pretty similar to it anyway.
He also could have used a vibrato pedal, or got the same effect by modifying a strat trem
Chase Nelson
excellent point.
holy fuck this is also true, at least for loveless and the companion ep's
when i got very very into those records it was... scary sometimes, starting to realise the attention to detail in the vocal layering.
i kind of had this perception they were mixing between kevin and bilinda's voices to achieve this androgyne, nonbinary, romantic partners melting into each other (maybe in a pathological way?) kind of effect.
i'm not sure how true that is or if anyone else has thought that
