Keith played a Precision, see the pic above with Bill, looks like it?
I still think the bass on the out takes has a lazy feel in the phrasing, that is different to how Keith plays very similar lines during the Sympathy sessions, but the sound is there for obvious reasons.
The attack on Bills bass from the 2000 man sessions on that box set isn't that far removed from the finished release of Jigsaw Puzzle etc. It's not like Bill can't play bass!
Fender Precision into a Vox solid state Foundation Bass head with the 18" cab is bound to produce a good punchy sound.
The person playing slide really seems to be directing the band though, many times you'll hear Keith count in, they start and he'll stop them with the guitar thumping etc. The ends of track 2 and 3 are other examples of this.
Don't forget, Keith himself has said he plays the slide!
Here's Keith talking about it... [
