I look to spend three nights in Murten and us it as a base to visit Bern and the Swis Jura. Or, should I just stay in Bern as a base? Also, waht is the driving time from Murten to Basel?

You can google estimates drive times
e.g.

If you are travelling by car a small town like Murten is a better place to stay than a city like Bern. Be sure to ask if your hotel has parking.
According to https://www.viamichelin.com/ Murten to Basel is 01h30 (124 km) by Autobahn, which sounds about right if you don't hit any traffic jams and don't stop.
But, I would suggest the more scenic route via the Jura: Biel, Moutier, Delémont, which viamichelin says is 02h23 (125 km)
