Question Does this look normal?

[GregHutton]

Hi Folk,

Instrument: EB MM 25th 5-string bass, serial# F22850

I'm pretty sure there must be an existing thread for this topic but trying to find it is proving way too time-consuming.

When I opened the compartment to install a replacement battery box, this is what I saw. The -ve wire from one of the batteries was adrift from the PCB, +ve followed after the gentlest of touches (now knotted together for id in the image). The jack socket wiring looks like rework, as does the adjacent earth connection...

I'd be very grateful for any views please - does this look normal or not? And for any pointers to where I can find the correct wiring diagram. Or indeed any other advice.

Kind regards.

Greg
