Up to now, I would have also said that I hardly ( if ever ) used the tone controls - but now I have a 335 ( copy ) loaded with Alnico IV Stormy Mondays, the  range of tonal possibilities / sonic palette has gone huge !

Until I get used to it - and find my favourite combinations, it is like handling a flight deck !

I use the tone controls all the time, especially on the neck pickup - I love that really warm, soupy tone you can get, with no audible pick attack.

Tend to leave the bridge tone on 10 with humbuckers, sometimes turn it down a bit with single-coils.

Since I installed Stellartone Tonestylers I use the tone pots all the time. And yup, one position on those things is with no tone control included in the circuit for that bright, no load sound. Not cheap, but passive and  I love 'em.  I've never had so much versatility from tone controls alone.
