Double Bass Mixer

hello,
its my first post!

well,
I have a realist mic, but im thinking in mix it with a condenser (i listen for recomendations) for live gigs, because i want a more nature sound...
There is any problem if i use a mixer Phonic mu502 to mix both signals? (i also use a Fishman Pro-EQ Bass Platinum with the realist).

Thank you for your answers,

Welcome Contrabass,
Something to keep in mind is impedance. The Realist, being a piezo pickup, has high impedance (1 Mega Ohms?? not sure), while the usual mixer is built for microphone input and its impedance is low. The Mu502 requires 2000 ohms at the mic input and 10,000 ohms at the line inputs. You will need something in between to lower the Realist down to the mixer level or else you will lose lows in your sound.
