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...

Mal, why would
you chime in? He specifically asked about the Tele 'bucker, and he's obviously not looking for substitutes, yet here you are chiming in about the Dark Star. Last time, someone else asked specifically about P-bass replacement pickups, and there you were, claiming that the Dark Star -- a Guild replacement -- was the ultimate P-bass pickup. And you're not alone, I've seen the same behavior by others elsewhere. You and others obviously do think it's the panacea for just about everything except hunger and war, otherwise you wouldn't keep pushing it. There doesn't seem to be a bass-related problem that you think can't be solved by the Dark Star. That's cultism.
And the Dark Star isn't even remotely like the heavily overdriven 30K tone of the Tele humbucker. Why would you say such a thing?
If you want me to give it a rest, why don't you give it a rest?
