I/4" input jack assistance

[mkwbmh]

I need to reconnect a 1/4" input jack on a 1994 Sting Ray bass, with the 3 EQ. There are five wires: 3 black, 2 red and 1 white. The switch has 4 connectors, one on each side of the square plastic piece, and one on the beveled edge. It looks like the three black wires went on the beveled, but I don't know where the others go. (I know this is simple, but I don't want to screw anything up.) I would appreciate any assistance.

Also, do any of you know where I could get an online schematic. I looked and couldn't find anything usable. Thanks.

Maybe something like this:

(top upper wire from the preamp board to the jack is White, a little hard to tell)

Thanks Todd...that was fast...and a big help. One more question. I have the 3 EQ and this diagram is for a 2 EQ. So I have one more black wire. Would it be correct to assume that it gets soldered on the same prong as the other black wires?

All the black wires go to the same place.

All the black wires go to the same place.

Another good idea for a shirt.

When I say the black wire is "Not connected to jack" (in red), I mean no connection at that point. BUT if you follow the wire, it is soldered to the lug on the bevelled edge.

Thanks!

Thanks a lot, guys. This was a big help.
