Honeyburst vs. Cherryburst

[Coffeemug]

Hey there,

does anyone have both and could do a side-by-side shot for me?

I sometimes have a hard time telling the two colors apart...if anyone has some representative shots of any of these...post 'em here!

Ya know, I could look through my pic collection and I would not be able to tell them apart. I should have it more organized...
but I’m lazy. I have them sorted by model, not colours.

Some Honey Burst look just like Cherry Burst. Its hard to tell them apart.

Pretty sure the fogman is a lot more organized.

I don't post pics of my bass too often (or play it that often for that matter), but it's a nice honeyburst.

My cherryburst Silo:

A honeyburst Axis:

Subtle difference, I am just a bit more partial to cherryburst. Just a bit warmer to me.

Honeyburst is nice!

both are fantastic. I am envy filled now. thanks

Like travs said, both are fantastic! I believe that the honeyburst is more kinda yellow/orange and got a "smudgier" feel while the cherry is yellow/orange/red and a more straight forward fade from glaring and sharp egdes to a light and bright middle.

Looking at my honeyburst right now and not seeing any yellow. Its orange fading to a reddish-orange outline. And I'm sober, too....well, mostly.

Wow they really are very similar and the slight difference to me is the redish hue around the the edge, but I can easily see anyone making that mistake and confusing the colors.

Thanks for all the posts so far...have to admit I still couldn't tell them apart without you guys posting what it is.

The whole point in this is that I'm toying with the idea of ordering a ht piezo Albert in cherryburst...and I'm a little worried it'll be somewhat similar to my honeyburst AL.

I'm not sure about honeyburst being more yellow/orange...mine definitely doesn't lack red...

...but I guess you're right about it being a bit "smudgier" and cherryburst being brighter overall.

Here’s my old ASS. Guess the colour.

Oh btw... it's not Photoshopped.

^ It really is tricky without a clue, isn't it...?

My guess would be Cherryburst.

metalmarty, to me your Silo looks honeyburst and not cherryburst

(edit: correction...being an older one with the Floyd Rose I guess it would have been the original sunburst?
lol all very confusing)

on the bass side the "what color is this" sticky has pics of cherryburst,honeyburst and the original MM suburst

1/ cherryburst

2/ honeyburst

3/ original sunburst

1 + 3 look closer to me than 1 + 2 but so many variables I guess with pics of guitar finishes

Komp

Non BFR sister of yours.

You are incorrect Patrick. It really is hard to tell then apart.

That beauty is Honey Burst.
