rampant cultism ? Jeeze Dave, maybe you could give it a rest... I never said this was the be all and end all. I also never said the pickup would sound like a Tele. I thought that maybe, just maybe Flashback would find Chef's bass interesting. Particularly in light of the fact that original tele humbucker's are pure un-obtanium at this point and the DS form factor is interestingly close.
Frankly from a tonal perspective the DS is closer to the original than about anything I know about - you got a better suggestion than ebay, a bank account and Maybe a Tele with a 51 RI single coil suspended in the humbucker's chasm ? That outta be cute ...
Your objections to my appreciation of the Dark Star are noted. Why you would feel it necessary to chime in in your particular style or lack thereof eludes me but as they say it is a free country...
