I don't know why I didn't think of that ... my only worry is the continuity of the connection ... but its only 9v, I suppose its not going to cause any damage.

The first pic is the loose cable end (that should ebay going into the black box). Second picture is the other end of the cable, which I believe is the volume Karl

I just picked up my bass after a long time not playing (say 4 years), and the output is failing (very intermittent) ... so I decided to open up the back plate ... there's a black box with 10 wires coming out of it (well 9, and 1 stray red wire). The red wire being loose seems to be the issue, I tried pushing it back into the box, and the Bass works. The problem I have is; A) how do I get the wire permanently attached back into the box (it seems sealed) - is it even possible? B) if I can't, and then need a new"black box". How do I go about sourcing one? There are no part identifying markings on it. I hope someone can help Karl
