I have the same Sterling Ray 34HH it kicks serious but. I'd love to get a pearloid pickguard for it though

Two from "The Vault". I haven't looked at these for a couple of years! Pulled them out last week and got 'em running.
Right: mid/late '80's Kawai KRB105 - Koa body, Shaller pu's & hardware, composite neck. Passive V-Bal-T-T with series/parallel pull up on T pots.
Plays great and is a midrange machine. Chromes on now, GHS Precision flats coming up.
Left: '91 Yamaha RBX800A. Pearl white with "holo" red/blue hilites on angles. I didn't care for the original '90's voiced guts pkg so I put in EMG's & BTC pre. It is pointy, no doubt, but it plays exc - great neck and balance.
Like finding a secret stash! Can't wait to gig them!

Current line-up, excluding the shortscale that's hanging in my garage/workshed:
G&L Club / Black Basses Cross Post
This here’s a mean pair.
Need to shield the L2K’s control cavity
(its active circuit’s picking up radio stations, kinda neat!)

Nice. The little Monologue is pretty fun. 
Might be one of the coolest B&W pics I've ever seen with the angle of the center bass... can we see the same pic in color, the finish looks very cool!
Gorgeous!
Love the slight relic on the other basses.

Yes, that looks nice - but I want to know more about those bridges on the P basses please.
Those are Ray Ross bridges.

I've never tried them because I use flats with silks on that end.

That is the most intriguing bridge I've ever seen. That's some outside the box thinking. I would love to hear a before and after demo comparing this bridge to a saddle-type bridge.
Please tell me more about your red bass. I'm curious about it because I routed and placed my own Jazz bridge pickup on a Precision in the same place (1/2" further back than the 60's placement). I'm also wondering why the headstock doesn't have either the tele or precision/jazz shape.
Here's some pics of my collection that I had taken today. The lighting was nice today, but my camera sucks so there much to improve:
