Not my thing, I prefer to have a few tonal options... but I might cut the tone control off my bridge pickup, just to try it. I'm more of a neck player anyway, and that tone control gets a workout.
I'm sort of a, less is more kid of guy. I have a 50's Harmony Stratotone to which I've added a second DeArmond pickup. I decided on a selector switch and volume, no tone controls. It was an interesting exercise that turned out fine in the end. There's something cool about having a guitar that just has one knob.
