I love the tone of Marcus Miller Jazz Bass but I love the tone of a Warwick too. What are the pros and cons of each basses? and would it be an even trade if I traded my warwick for a marcus miller jazz bass?

I cant tell you which one you'll like better,but I can tell you it'd be a pretty close trade,in terms of value.The Fender might be worth slightly more though.
Totally different sounding basses, both sound good but it's up to you to decide which one is better for you.
I also love the tone of both basses BTW.

Yea, I love different things about both but I can't afford both 
so I have to decide if I want to trade off my Warwick for this Marcus Miller.

Well,if it turns out you regret the swap,I dont think you'll have any trouble selling or swapping the Fender.
From experience, I'd tell you that if you can only afford one bass, I would go with the Marcus Miller. I traded my Valenti for a Warwick but ended up trading the Warwick for another Jazz bass because I thought the Warwick was too specific sounding. It's great if you can afford multi basses or if you strictly play originals. But playing motown, hendrix etc. covers with the Warwick turned me off.
On the other hand, I have a friend who only has a Warwick and is really happy with it. Somehow he can make the bass sound like he wants... then again he's a producer.
Here's a video of him playing Stevie Wonder's Superstition with a Warwick and a phenomenal tone

aparently the marcus miller has a Sadowsky pre-amp and vintage pick-ups, does anyone know what difference this makes from the stock?
