I would venture to say the majority of the tele players here use the tone ( and volume ) knob a lot!

Like you, years ago I could never get the bridge pup to sound good. I was always a "knobs on 10" player.

Discovering the tonal joys of the volume and tone knobs was a huge step for me in finding the joys of great tele tone.

Thats why the obsession with tone caps is so rampant! I finally found a few really good ones that work very well for me. I still don't care for the treble bleed cap, or cap and resistor network on the volume control though. As Rob D once said, I like using the volume control as another tone control. No right or wrong, just finding what works.
