In my youth, I assembled a P-Bass from various spare parts and purchased items. I was really happy with it and it played well with no issues.
Recently the tone pot has seized and no longer turns. I'm looking to re-wire the electrics and replace the pots. After doing some research and looking into wiring diagrams, I realised that my bass doesn't have a bridge ground. Looking at the cavity for pickups, electronics and wires, there doesn't appear to be any holes from this area to the bridge.
Is this a major issue, or can the electrics be grounded elsewhere?

Many thanks in advance of your help,
