Quick shout out to @velorush@Jimbillyand@Dave Scepter for troubleshooting steps, overall knowledge and recommendations. My Chap is back in business..... Replaced the input jack and the battery, soldered the red the green and the black wires to the input jack. She sounds good as the day I bought her new. Thank you very much! Long time looker on the HFC, this group is always solid unlike my playing.

Thank you for providing info on this issue. I appreciate your time getting back to me on this matter. So are you saying the green wire that is coming off the body of the Tone pots (has a gob of solder) should be on one of the three posts of the Tone pots? Does it matter which post on the Tone pots it is soldered too?

I apologize if this question has already been address. I have a 90 Chaparral Custom bass that has recently been giving me intermittent issues with output. It's probably the input jack and should probably be replace but wanted to ask you all before throwing parts at it. To describe the issue I am having, when I take my bass head off of mute I sometime have no output. If I fiddle with patch cord I eventually start getting a signal. However, while fiddling with the patch cord I get crackling and loud signals that will scare everyone include myself in our house. Amplifier is set to a very low volume but the crackling signal is very loud at times. I have tried clean the input jack and it was better. Last night while playing I could hear a faint distortion in the signal and signal was somewhat weak. Took the cover off and inspected the input jack along with wiring and discovered what appears to be a broken wire connection, not sure where that wire should go. I am not sure if the Green wire should go to the post on the input jack or to the 2nd Tone post. The 3rd Tone post looks like it has never had any soldering but the 2nd Tone post has a broken connection.
