Default Change Bridge to Change Sound?

I'm curious if a bridge alone can have an effect on a bass' sound? I know that thinner bridges and wingless bridges are supposed to brighten up the sound. Can going from a quality bridge to another quality bridge change the sound of a bass? In other words, how much does the bridge have to do with the overall sound?

Along those lines, might piezo bridge pickups create a different sound on a bass when different bridges are used, since the pickup, I assume, is mainly operating off the vibrations of the bridge?

Interesting in hearing from those with actual experience.
