Throughout this video (good view at 43:02) Eric Judy plays a 70s Blonde Telecaster Bass. He played the Telecaster Bass live throughout 1999, but swapped to a Rickenbacker at some point towards the end of that year.

I'm pretty confident that used the Telecaster bass on The Moon and Antartica after I asked him! Not a direct confirmation, but he said he used "this sort of P Bass thing" for the earlier recordings.
