Output Repair?

[Kabbage Killa]

So I leave for college in a few days. I've got a Stingray-5 and an old ESP LTD-5 that has a busted output. I'm a little iffy about bringing up the stingray, and was wondering if the output would be a quick fix. The wires in the bass cavity are no longer attached to the output, and I haven't been able to find out where to connect each wire. Theres two ends coming out of a single black coated wire. One end is coated in white while the other has no coating. If anyone knows which one would be the ground wire or something, it'd be greatly appreciated

the one insulated in white is the hot wire and goes to the portion of the jack that connects to the end of the 1/4" plug.

Thank you for calling it an output jack. It drives me crazy when people say "The input jack on my bass." grrrrrrr :angry:

the white wire should be soldered to the short center post on the jack. The sheild wire should be soldered to the longer outside post of the jack.

I think.

He means an output socket not a 1/4" jack :thumb:
