Congrats! Those two look very nice. I'm currently looking for a japan made fender around $500 but it is very hard to find one in the states. I envy you. =)
There are sound comparison videos of p-bass and jazz bass on the youtube. Check those videos out and try yourself at local instrument store. It will help you to choose one.
One stupid question...
Can i order the 74 jazz without the pickup covers? I never liked the cover and know that it is easy to take it off but don't like to see the screw holes on the body.
Or order it from CS is the only way i can get it without covers and holes?
