Hi,last night,i instaled a piezo bridge in a bass.
Is all metal,and the points that contact the strings,are metal to.
Should i conect the bridge to the ground?the bass has also magnetic pickups

I would, my understanding is that it's safer and you should get less noise when taking hands off the strings, especially if passive.

Yes it is possible for the piezo signal to be out of phase with the mag pickup. The blended piezo+mag sound will usually sound somewhat thin and weedy if they're out of phase. Most piezo buffer circuits have a phase reversal switch to cater for this. How are you mixing the piezo and mag signals, do you have some sort of buffer circuit or preamp onboard?

I dont know if i mix them or if i will use one at a time.
The good thing is that i have a mixing console,so i can mix them with that.
Just experimenting still.
One option is to use a blend control after piezos vol-tone circuit.
I dont know if it will work
