Jack on guitar looks like a wire broke off. One blue wire still connected. No loose wires floating around! Should there be 2 wires connected to the jack itself? Which two?

To wire a Dean Edge bass guitar with four pots (potentiometers) and a battery, you will need to follow the wiring diagram for the specific model of your bass guitar. Here is a general overview of the wiring process:

1. Start by connecting the ground wires to the pots and the battery. The ground wires should be connected to the ground terminal on each pot and the negative terminal on the battery.
2. Next, connect the power wires to the pots and the battery. The power wires should be connected to the positive terminal on the battery and to the power terminal on each pot.
3. Connect the pickup wires to the pots and the output jack. The pickup wires should be connected to the pickup terminals on the pots and to the input terminals on the output jack.
4. Connect the control wires to the pots and the output jack. The control wires should be connected to the control terminals on the pots and to the output terminals on the output jack.
5. Test the wiring to make sure everything is working properly. If there are any issues with the wiring, you may need to double-check your connections or consult the wiring diagram for your specific bass guitar model.

It is recommended that you follow the wiring diagram provided by Dean or consult a qualified technician if you are not comfortable wiring the bass guitar yourself. Improper wiring can damage the guitar and potentially pose a safety hazard.

You probably need a new input jack on the amplifier. When they get loose the connecting wires can crackle, but plugging a guitar in stabilizes them (no more crackle).

You'll need needle nose pliers, small phillips head screwdriver, soldering iron, electronics-grade solder, socket screwdriver or 1/4" wrench, black electrical tape. Purchase necessary replacement jack. Remove plastic electronics cover plate, located on the back of the body, behind control knobs. This will expose the electronics cavity. Locate existing jack and its wire connections inside the exposed cavity. Remove any electrical tape covering the jack connections. Using a hot soldering iron, touch each of the two soldered input jack connections, one at a time, just until the soldered connection melts. Then, disconnect the associated wires (taking note of which wire connects where!). Once disconnected, loosen and remove the nut on the outer part of the jack that holds it onto the guitar body. Remove the old jack. Insert the new jack (with the nut removed) into the existing hole, from inside the electronics cavity and tighten it in place, on the outside of the guitar body, with the nut. Re-attach the wires to the new jack, by using needle nose pliers to wrap them tightly around the correct posts. Touch the hot soldering iron to each post and apply a small amount of solder to the post as it's being heated. Once the molten solder runs over the connection and looks shiny, remove the tip of the soldering gun. This process takes only 2 to 3 seconds. Let the connections cool for a few seconds. To insulate, wrap connections with black electrical tape. Replace cover plate.

The cable has a broken wire. If it's the type cable which allows unscrewing the jack, take it apart and look for a loose / broken connection. Repair would be to solder it back. If the jacks on the cord are the molded type, the most practical solution is to replace it.

The first thing i would do is not leave it on in this way for too long. You could blow out a very expensive Transformer if its a faulty speaker. The worst thing you could do to a TUBE amp is run it without a speaker . I would test the speaker first. Just remove the wires going to it. And connect the speaker to either a car stereo or house system at low volume very low. And see what you get. if it works ? Good! Now check your guitar chord/wire. Try different ones try different guitars. If that doesn't work . Look into the input jack on the instrument input hack on the amp.. They do come loose off the board.Either get a new input jack or resolder the old one. if you only have one guitar look at the guitar output jack. Loose wiring on the guitar could cause this also. Dirty In and out put jacks could cause this. A pencil with Very fine sand paper wrapped around it will clean a dirty input/output jack. Try these things. Just remember poking around your amp is Dangerous. The electrical components hold a charge even unplugged that can kill you. No joke..

Yeah, sounds like a bad connection. If you are handy, you can take the jack out yourself and determine if it is a loose wire or solder connection. If everything looks fine then you should squeeze the connections togather inside the jack itself. Sometimes it just gets pushed apart and does not hit around the male end secure enough.

If the noise is a pop or click, that's normal. Any other sound could be caused by too long a cord, which will produce noise while on the floor.

If it's not the cord, then you most likely have something wrong with the wiring inside the guitar. Have a luthier (guitar builder and technician) look at it, and s/he should be able to fix the problem.


Hope that helps!

Btw, I’m available to help over the phone in case u need at https://www.6ya.com/expert/cameron_463100ffd54b591d

Does the jack have any wires connected to it? Can you tell where the disconnected wires originate? Typically, the wire from the middle ear of the volume pot should go to the tip of the jack, and the wire from the back of the tone pot goes to the sleeve of the output jack. You will get no output if either of these wires are disconnected. Also, the next question is "why" did they come loose? That's usually because one of the pots is not tightened down, and is allowed to spin when the volume or tone knob is turned, breaking the wire's contact. Pull the knob off the pot, and tighten the nut down so the pot can't turn. This will assure you won't have the same problem again.

It sounds like the grounding/earth wire is off the output socket as you already seem to believe yourself. Depending on the model either take off the back control cover panel or the scratchplate/pickguard and look for a loose wire running from the back of one of the pot cases and connect this back onto the screen connection of the jack socket.

This is a very common problem that I have repaired for many friends. Sometimes the guitar jack becomes loose and gets rotated to the point where the wire breaks and/or touches the cord plug when it's inserted into the jack. You need to remove the access plate/panel at the back of the guitar body and see if the wire is broke or twisted. You may only have to loosen the jack retaining nut and rotate the jack to get the twist out or you may have to remove the jack and resolder the wire back in place. If its broke make sure to solder back on the proper terminal--the one with solder already on it and not the one that the cord plug touches when its inserted. Retighten the jack nut by firmly holding the jack from access side so it doesn't rotate again and cause that undesirable STATIC sound. Hope this helps.
