Hello,
I'm posting this here because I haven't been able to find much online, so this is a bit of a shot in the dark. A buddy of mine has a Ross Big Mouth bass amp. One day after leaving it in a shared rehearsal space for a long time, he found that the speaker jack had fallen in, or so he thought. Upon opening up the amp it seems that the non-metal parts of the jack are simply gone, leaving the metal lugs. See the link to the pictures below. Strangest thing I've seen in a while. He suspects someone may have stolen the jack out of it, but who knows.
He's asked me to replace the jack, which is normally trivially simple, except there is a red and black section of cut wires on the remaining pieces of the old jack, as shown in the pictures. I'm assuming the black wire is just a shared ground point, I'm poking around but I don't see any obvious opposite end where it may have been cut. What I'm more worried about is the remaining bit of red wire on the tip lug of the old jack. Not sure where that could have gone. I know it's just a jack replacement, but at this point, I'm hesitant to do anything and risk missing two critical connections.
The pics can be found here: https://ibb.co/album/wZnM7b
If anyone knows anything about this amp or has a schematic, or advice, it'd be greatly appreciated. Thanks all.
