Pickup mount

I am building a two string short scale stand up ( actually, sit down) bass. I hope to use a Gitty bass pickup suspended under the strings on an L shaped bracket that will be mounted to the side. The body is long and narrow so I feel I will be able to make the bracket stiff enough for this application. My question... Would a metal bracket interfere with the pickup doing its job, or would an aluminum bracket be required, so as not to trouble the magnetic vibes. Either way, the bracket would be sandwiched in a thin wood pieces the size of the pickup. The pickup would mount above the bracket, and below the strings. I have never seen this type of arrangement, but thought that due to the narrowness of the body that this could be viable. Thank you for any thoughts on this,... Bless Up
