I find that I need the tone knob on the Tele. I set my amp for a perfect neck pickup sound, which leaves the bridge pickup too trebly. When I switch to that pickup, I roll the tone down to about 7. Also, with a tone knob, you can get those great Roy Buchanan tone swells.

Having said that, Richard Thompson plays a hybrid guitar with a P-90 in the neck, Strat in the middle, and Broadcaster in the bridge. He has three volume knobs and no tone. He just dials in whatever to get the sound he wants and always gets a great sound.
