The famous Yamaha TRB JP 2 Signature vs Sire M7
6. I’ve owned JP2 & sold it bcoz it’s too wide & big for me. Both have 35 inch scale, but JP has 19 mm, 26 frets, ebony board. A solid built quality on the JP2 but it’s a bit heavy 5kg sumthin. M7 18 mm, 24 frets, Rosewood board 3,5-4 kg.
Jamming on Fortune Teller by Fourplay tune.
Tell me which one is your favorite and why?
No matter if Yamaha or Sire...this Bassplayer make them both sound best.....not easy to play on a 6 String with not let unused strings ring...great technique, great musician......thanx a lot for your video
Thank you Luke! :)
YES NATHAN REALLY DOES A GREAT JOB AT WHAT HE DOES THUMBS UP,I WAS SOLD LOVE ❤️ THE SIRE M7 6-STRING, CAN'T WAIT FOR THE NEW SIRE ULTIMATE M7 7-STRING BASS
Thanks man

That Yamaha is cutting like a chef. The Sire could probably be dialed in to do the same. Great preamp in those basses. Well done young man!
Exactly Sire Pre is a chameleon thanks sir!
That Sire sounds incredible!!!
The Yammie is dope also
Both basses sound amazing! The Sire seems to have more presence and growl. You can't go wrong with the Yamaha but for the money, the Sire is a crazy bargain!!!
Oh yeah
I own a Yamaha trb1006. That bass is made for me. The Sire sounds great for slap in particular but in a finger style, Yamaha tones at times sound like your plugged into a reverb pedal on the highs, and the sustain is incredible. When you’re in the lower register in finger style play the notes sort of growl. Both basses here sound amazing. What your playing technique is like ultimately decides which sounds better
1006 Korean is just too tight string spacing to me, 17 mm
Very impressed with the Sire, but that Yamaha sounds so good! To me, so balanced with the right amount of everything - I marvel at how it sounds great fingerstyle AND slaps on the same setting. That tight low B is to die for. I just wish Yamaha had a version with a narrower string spacing. Oh and nice playing!
Yeah Japanese Yamaha is always nice
Why do you need a tighter spacing ? I have a TRB-JP2 and I find it so confortable...
@@laurentalvaro1905 I'm 5'7", and I found getting around the fretboard a tad uncomfortable on a TRB I once tried at a store.

Very clean, precise, tasteful and articulate technique you got there mate, excellent playing!
Thanks mate, check this out th-cam.com/video/XUYvOK4IgT8/w-d-xo.html
With good equalization and compression you can improve the sound of any instrument. Yamaha has its spectacular sound, Sire was camouflaged with excessive processing.
What excessive processing? If you’re including compression, that compressor must have been terrible because the dynamic range of the notes was not squashed at all. And instruments have built-in EQ for a reason, so I don’t think “good equalization” is something that’s so exclusive that it “camouflaged” the Sire.
bad take:/
I have a Yamaha TRB5. I just love it. So powerful, rich, versatile, sturdy, wide eq range. It's just a high quality tone and works in any situation. It can even play Metal Music!

I have Sire M7 5. When I want to buy a TRB JP, I watch this video to be convinced not to buy a TRB JP. Thanks a lot Rama! :D
Oh wow glad it helps you
Terrific playing. Both basses sound really good. I think its all in your ability and your fingers of course. Well done.
Thanks Ian 😀

Can't assess, is the string of Yamaha Bass older than the Sire's string?
Yes older strings on Jp2
Prefer the Yamaha here but for the price (4k for the Yamaha and 1k for the sire) the sire wins it for me

These Yamahas have a 30 year solid history. Very nice playing, perfect demo this type of bass. Sire humbuckers, Yamaha is single coil.
Oh yes I love Japanese Yamaha as well! They’re legit! M7 has the single coil ability too
@@RamaNatan Both very nice bass, just mentioned the single coil because some people think the Yamaha runs humbuckers. Excellent playing Rama. You really do a great job of showing the tonal range with tasteful playing.
Thanks Mark!
Man these grooves- keep watching this video- wow
Thanks Loren
I prefer the Yamaha. My favorite brand of instrument!
The sound on the Yamaha is more impresive!!
Did you check this one? th-cam.com/video/XUYvOK4IgT8/w-d-xo.html
I just heard this brand today (Sire), for me it sounded better than yamaha on this video. You can feel the bass, the punch and the Marcus Miller sound. I do have Yamaha and I think will get the Sire 5 strings because of this video.
for the price of point, Sire is worth to check :) let them know my vid helps :)
Hi Rama I have a TRB 1006 I love my 6 string, but would a M7 sound and feel better?
yes M7 is better
They both sound really, really good. Lovely rich and burpy. Great playing. Honestly - I'd rather pay the extra and have the Yamaha but I'm just a big old Yamaha fanboy so I'm biased.
I love the pristine Yamaha
Did you check this one? th-cam.com/video/XUYvOK4IgT8/w-d-xo.html
I'd go for Yamaha any day
Did you check this one? th-cam.com/video/XUYvOK4IgT8/w-d-xo.html
I’ve been wanting to buy either one of these beautiful instruments. These sounds amazing, look beautiful and you’ve made it hard for me to make a choice hahaha. This is now my favorite video!
Love the singing of those notes🔥
both are nice, Yamaha has a much better built surely, check this out th-cam.com/video/XUYvOK4IgT8/w-d-xo.html

I had the Sire M7 6 string and now i have the TRB JP2. In real life It`s like comparing apples and oranges in every aspect, although this video does not show that much. Still, considering that the TRBJP2 is a 6K instrument (new) and the Sire is 5 times less, i`d say The Sire M7 is a very good bass (but still in a completely different league from the TRB JP2). It`s better than the current Yamaha TRB1006 bass which is probably the most overpriced 6 string bass on the market today and should never be mixed with the older 1988-2010 TRBJP, TRBJP2, TRBP and TRBP2 Yamaha models which are premium instruments and rightfully costly even today. Cheers.
totally agree with your words here, I'm after the 6P next
Did you check this one? th-cam.com/video/XUYvOK4IgT8/w-d-xo.html
Yeah Man great playing! A saw you have a TRB 6 II too, I have the same…
Can you tell the differences beetwen JP and 6 II? Not the specification differences, but sound and feel….
thanks man! JP2 feels huge and overkill to me, 6II feels heavy sounds standard
Damn dude. Great playing! I just reserved a M7 in Blue. I have had a Sire v7 so I might be biased, but I prefer the m7 or the Yamaha although both sound great!
I love the slap tone on the m7. Were you running both pickups in humbucker mode?
Thanks man! The M7 is in single coil mode just like the JP2. M7 simply has a wider tone range and lighter than the JP2 and of course cheaper :)
Sire M7 bolt-on has 5 bolts and not 4 like I have come across in the shops. Why change from 5 to less stable 4 bolts on the neck joint?
Hi Barbara - if you look closely to the design of the bottom horn - Sire has cut it deeper to improve access to the upper frets. They had to make a change to the neck joint in the same process. So it ended up being the simplest and most stable joint to do a "staggered 4-bolt" joint instead of a 5 bolt. It would be difficult to make room for 5 bolts in this setup. They have done the same change on the more entry level M2 series that has also switched over from 5 to 4 bolts due to the same design change of the bottom horn.
What settings do you have on the Sire ?
That Yamaha just sings!
Did you check this one? th-cam.com/video/XUYvOK4IgT8/w-d-xo.html
Kalo preferensi sound bisa di make up. Tapi Playabilty adalah mutlak. So cari bass yg paling nyaman buat kalian
I like both. JP2 and M7 6 are so nice.
😀

Hey brother , link to JP signature series please 🥺
Sire all the way, Love the growl of those basses
Did you check this one? th-cam.com/video/XUYvOK4IgT8/w-d-xo.html
for the money, cant go wrong with Sire. but yamaha trb jp will be a must have for the 6string players.
Yeah JP is a killer 6
Beautiful smooth playing and sounds from both. Especially the Sire. What’s your signal chain setup here?
just bass to Roland go mixer
One of my favorite players
thanks man
Merry Christmas Rama, I have the Sire M2 and about to purchase the M7, Can you tell me if I can get that Marcus Miller sound using the M7 with single coil setting?
If you want MM get V7
This video just tells you that you dont need more expensive stuff, but its also okay if you want it and can afford it.
That’s it!
@@RamaNatan Yeah, but the m7 isn't very expensive. Don't know about the Yamaha, but the M7 has a very reasonable price to it. Can't wait until the M7 5 string comes to my dealer! They promised to put aside the blue colored 5 string for me and they will call me to come and have a look at it as soon as the batch arrives!
I’ll review the M5 next week
Hi Rama, need to make a decision on these Sire basses, what do you think - A brand new SIre M7 6-String vs a 2nd-hand TRB6 or 6P???, will very much appreciate your comments.
TRB, check this out th-cam.com/video/XUYvOK4IgT8/w-d-xo.html
This is really awesome; the two of you interchanging is brill - beautiful mesh of mastery - well played you two. . . . .
What tone setting are you using on the actual bass. Can you go over the preamp and tone config in a vid?
I don't have those basses anymore, Forgot the setting
I know the Yamaha is in a much higher price bracket, but it's worth it. It's better in every way!
Japanese Yamaha are legit!
@@RamaNatan Made-in-Taiwan Yamaha TRB5P is great, too :-)
Eric Au curious with that
Did you check this one? th-cam.com/video/XUYvOK4IgT8/w-d-xo.html
2 factors to consider, do both basses have the same brand strings and pickups. that makes a huge difference believe it or not. I own both JP1 & JP2 and love the 19mm spacing and have never disappointed me.
I love JP1 more than 2
@@RamaNatan YASSSSS!!!!

Amazing playing bro ❤✌️🎧🎸

Where does this oke get the money for these instruments???
Sire 😎👊🏽🎸
sire sounds sick!
The Yamaha TRB is legendary bass .Slap can be too glassy on it .But that is the way it is!
The Sire sounds great also .Beefy LOWS..
Yammie has a distinguished tone
Yamaha has slightly more presence.... but the Sire sounds great too, and can be has for 1/3 the price (if you can even find the Yamaha for sale).
GK2003 right 😀

Thank you so much for the demo, Rama! Could you please reveal me which setup of switches and knobs you use in the demo? I have an M7 4 strings and I am just confused about the diversity of possible setup combinations. I just want on main sound and probably 3-5 more more special sounds. Until now I could never decide. Thanks in advance!
I’ll make a video about the M5 & M7 preamp soon for those who need it. 😀
@@RamaNatan great! If you can take that with passive / active switch.
I posted the video

I’ll take the Sire Sr.
That sire has hands up with me.
fingerboard radiusnya sire lebih rata ga yaa? lagi compare buat main chord n cepet2 soalnyaa
agak rata seingat sya, tidak seflat yamaha tpi
M7 nya made in mana pak
Sorry, but the pedigree of that Yamaha wipes its ass with that Sire… People always trying to get the budget stuff proven to be just as good but guess what it’s not
What is your Amp setup for this? Both of those sound amazing. I'm looking into the Sire because of the price but that Yamaha is killer.
Directly bass to Roland Go Mixer. Yeah the budget speaks here
Did you check this one? th-cam.com/video/XUYvOK4IgT8/w-d-xo.html
Maybe I'm partial because I own the JP2, but it sounds more smooth and "produced" to my ear. The Sire sounds a bit more raw to me, even though I like it. I just like the JP2 more.
JP2 kills Sire
That sire sounds nice
Rama Nathan, Nathan East should pay you royalties!☺️
🤣

That TRB, yes sir
Sir can i ask where is the wider or string spacing trb or sire?
JP2
@@RamaNatan tnx sa info
Both basses are dope but i give the yamaha the win. Its more refine in sound to me the the sire. But hey its right there behind it lol
Oh yeah thanks 😊
Both of these basses sound Great! I’m not sure if it’s the strings or the EQ, but I feel like the Sire had more clarity and and a little more punch.
Ralph Gay you’re not wrong coz Sire preamp on this M7 is helpful to match the JP electronics
Congratulation Rama TOP TOP ❤

what's the title of music?
you wrote it or covered it?
Info is there, By Fourplay 😀
YAMAHA TOOOPP ! ! ! 😁👏👏👏👏👏
Yamaha for me but for the price sire is the winner
Gotcha! 😁
Yamaha all the way
Okay getting one!
Thanks my friend, check my latest single feat: Nathan East here th-cam.com/video/XUYvOK4IgT8/w-d-xo.html
Both sound great as you are a great player :) I think for £3000 less id go for the sire and learn to play better lol
Thanks Andrew, yez, that's the only way to go cheaper :)
Folks get your sire bass before they become a high priced guitar manufacturer. They have quality products and likely could get more for them than current pricing models.
Likely
Man I am between a BTB Bartolini pick up 6 string vs this bass player the M7
I have replaced the electronic in my JP2 with Bartolini candy bars and Aguilar OBP3 but still not that good. I am selling it to buy a sire V7 6 strings. The Yamaha looks great but electronics are crap. However a wider body of the sire would make it look better.
I didn’t like the JP2 sound as well. Try 6P 1 it’s awesome. Do you have the sound sample of that Bart n obp?
@@RamaNatan No. The output and bass tone are weak. The volume effect starts with the volume button half way up. My other basses are very powerfull: EBMM Bongo HH6 stealth black Lakland and Vintage Sunburst V7 2nd Gen 5.
ObP3 should have a thick tone
¡SIRE WWWOOOOWWWW! ITS MAAAAAD! SIMPLY BETTER THAN YAMAHA.......
Price is the bargain
So which was your preference?
Preamp versatiliy and 18 mm of M7 but built quality of JP2 hahaha
Nice sounding six string bass
What track is that from Fourplay ?
Fortune Teller
VERY NICE I BEEN WAITING ON THAT ONE
😀
This video is awesome! :)
Can we have a "SIRE M7 2nd Gen 6-String" versus a "YAMAHA TRB1006J" video?
I have an M2 5-String. Looking to buy a 6-String but I can't afford a TRB JP2 to be honest. :D
Used to have 1006 17 mm a bit tight, also a nice bass! Flexible pre of M7 though
What this playalong Bro ???
Fortune Teller by Fourplay
Yamaha 😎
Dari karakter suaranya udah kerasa sih. Range frequency TRB JP greget abis, buat recording aman banget pasti. M7 bukan ga enak, karakter low nya growling, n masih cukup punya jati diri :)
😀 preamp Sire masih bisa diutak atik kena senar yg Pas jadi itu

Yamaha it is !
Night and day really.
Yamaha.
As always.

for when review sire m5?? ...
greetings and very grateful for your videos
Might be tomorrow
Great playing, They both sound great. I do have one question, what is the string spacing on those 2 basses. I am really making up my mind to purchase one of them. My hands are pretty large, thus the reason for the question. Thanks, really would like to know the string spacing, and if possible the price.
JP2 is 19 mm think it suits you more. But 18mm M7 is nice as well
Did you check this one? th-cam.com/video/XUYvOK4IgT8/w-d-xo.html
Yamaha have a better tone to finger style, in the Slap is not my favorite sound to much mids slaping,, but is cool. Yamaha is to heavy , Sire is a good good bass more lightweight and good sounds, no better , but for the price is a complete bass ,, i am user a Sadowsky NYC jazz and Humbucker, my favorite tone is Sadowsky , But i recomended the sire V9 and V10 single coills pickups, this basses have more agresive tone, not better, Sire ia the best bass for the price, but what you pay is what you get.
Did you check this one? th-cam.com/video/XUYvOK4IgT8/w-d-xo.html
That classic TRB sound. Oh so fat and growly in the mids, but that´s where the warmth comes from. That´s what the Sire is lacking. The rest it very similar.
Yes TRB sounds cool
Is the Sire Ash?
alder
Fantastic
Perfect sire. Russia
Spasiba!
O Sire tem um bom som mas esse Yamaha é Top! Yamaha que som incrível!

That’s the Yamaha I wanted originally but they are crazy expensive.
Just get M7 bro 😀
@@RamaNatan I just got the V10. Next time it might be the one.
Oh wow killing
Yeah men me too but I think I will get the marcus,,how it sounds the v10 ?
I like BassMods. I think they stopped making 6 string basses. Check out this guy (6 strangs) on a BassMods 6.
Bassmods is interesting, I ever owned the Mo Fitz sig
Isnt the Yamaha like 2400-2700$ the Sire 1159$ So is the Yamaha a 1200$ Better?? Sire M7 6string ummmm Great value. Cant wait for the Maple Board version
Well speaking of sound, M7 definitely has broader & wider choices than JP2. But built quality and brand image JP might be better 😁 Wallet will speak here. Don’t forget about the heavy weight of JP2
Which have the best preamp and what is the weight of both basses?
I love the versatility of M7 pre! TRB is heavier
@@RamaNatan so overall you love better the the M7 6?
Against JP2? Yes. But 6P 1 or 2 are killing
review sire marcus miller p5 4 string
I will
sire m7 sounds like yamaha trbx 505?
No way, wider and richer sound
@@RamaNatan Thanks. I have a yamaha trbx 504. very comfortable, beautiful and variable instrument. the sound is interesting, but not perfect.:)
What's the default string sire bass thx?
