If I can only have 2 (or possibly 3, max)....

The more I think about this , it really seems like you have a clear preference for Precision style basses.

I’m suggesting keep the Fender 72 Tele Bass, The Fender Japan 51 P, The Fender Cabronita . If you can add a 4th bass make it the Squier 51 P( if you need one with flats and one with rounds) or the Squier CV Jazz if you need that sound.
 
Spend a month with each. Stow away all the other basses and select one for that month. Go about your playing business as usual and see if that month's instrument can do everything you want it to. If it doesn't, sell. Repeat with a different bass the next month.
