I have been using many of the Bumble Bees in my Custom Harnesses and they really do have that TONE that we love so much. They also have a certain vintage correct look about them, if that counts for anything?
Sprague Black Beauties often sound as good as the Bees, and the Vitamin Q's are right up there in Tone quality. I use the .047's in my Tele rigs, 400vdc and I try and save the .022 400-600 vdc for my vintage Les Paul rigs.
Some guys play wide open and never roll off tone controls, but like Eddie mentioned the Cap still plays a roll in your tone unless you have true bypass tone pot. For Players who like to roll off the tone and find the "sweet spot" having the proper set of caps for your guitar is even more important. The only other thing I would mention is volume bleed kits, in conjunction with correct caps the bleed kits will keep your Tone from going muddy as vol. is rolled down. Some guys know about these and some don't, I think they are a must on many Gibson guitars. OK, I have rambled on long enough....
