Which one will you choose? Why? Pros and cons please, which one is more reliable and worth it?

For a little more, I would buy a used American Stingray (two band), or a used American Standard Jazz bass.

The American Special Jazz is a nice instrument. Mine is anyway. You didn't mention a Hwy One, but its very similar to a Hwy One, nearly identical in fact. So you could choose either and get a very good jazz bass.

Am Special - glossy finish, vintage style bridge
Hwy One - dull "nitro" finish, BAII bridge

Necks and everything else about identical.

I don't know anything about MusicMan, sorry.-
