Alanko:
I for one would be interested in a Glenn Cornick bass history lesson!

Any idea as to where he got the black pickguard he put on the Tbird he played at the Isle of Wight?

I don't, but I did note it in my comments; there is something interesting about it. Bear with me while I figure out how to transfer all the information...

...another little known Waylon-ism: his signature Tele's were set-neck (rarer than hen's teeth too- the Waylon Tele's currently  for sale online I have found are "tribute" Fender CS models and NOT his actual signature model).

I have a friend whose main bass for years has been a moccasin-style, leather-covered '74 Precision. The cover on it is VERY thick. Don't know if it adds anything to the tone.

I didn't know that. The 90s Custom Shop artist series Waylon model was definitely a bolt-on. Wildwood has one for sale now.
