Bass do not control them. That's one reason for stocking hybrids in lakes.

Hybrids = Salt water striped bass/white bass cross.

From what i've read, the pond needs to be at least 5 acres if you're going to have bass in it as well. Go to LSU's ag coop site, as well as Auburn's, and U of GA's. There's allot of good pond management and stocking information. We had a 3 acre pond get taken over with sacs. The pond was in decline with siltation, and other unwanted fish having found their way in. We drained, re-dug, and restocked it 4 yrs ago with bass, bluegill, and catfish. The bass are doing well, but the sacalait have found their way back. Time will tell, but sac I catch gets used for bass bait, or thrown on the bank.

There are three lakes in East Tennessee that have HUGE stripers now. 40 years ago, a 15 pounder was a trophy striper there. Boone, Cherokee, and Norris all have salt water stripers (rockfish) in excess of 80 lbs. The hybrids have gotten huge, also. Used to catch them regularly at 10 lbs. Nowadays, a 10 lb. hybrid is just ho-hum. And yes, these stripers and hybrids have put a big hurt lock on the crappie, uh, er, excuse me...sac-a-lait. (Did I say that right?)

I fished in a couple of ponds when I was a kid that had good populations of bass, crappie, and bluegill at the same time.
But I've heard it's a bad idea.

They'll find their way into your pond eventually. Either eggs transported by birds or flood event. I love them but they are bad for ponds. The ponds that acquired them much later in their life span seemed to handle them better than those that are introduced early. Might be enough starving fish to keep them in check.

My cousin didn't stock them "damn white perch" in his pond, and they pretty nearly took it over. Bass won't eat them once they are over a few inches long (too many spines) and they breed like rabbits. It has allowed some fun eradication trips, but he had a big pond tunrover and fish kill, so everything is a little scarce right now.

We've had them in my mom's pond for over twenty years and they never took it over but it was way overstocked with bass for a good ten years. I'd say it's about right at this point and I haven't fished it in awhile but they still haven't taken over.
What we do have is some fricking enormous crappie. Just never seen a little one. But we've got bream and gogleye and bass in there in abundance.

Also had the same situation in another pond when I was a kid. Had amazing bass fishing and the biggest crappie I've ever even heard of. I was wading out under the cypress trees one day bass fishing and looked behind me to see a what I thought was a four pound bass kinda looking sick so I reached in and got my hands under it and threw him up on the bank.
It was a crappie that we took up to the local convenience store that had a scale. 4lbs 4oz. I was a little kid but I'm pretty sure my mom has a pic of me with that thing somewhere. We threw it away. Fins were rotting off. Was probably dying of old age or some shite.
E NOR MOUS crappie.

Have you got any catfish in there, too? They're fairly voracious predators, I've been told?

There are now but not in abundance. It's pretty much stable but it's being fished harder these days.
