guitar tone control wiring
What is the best solder a wire in a shredded guitar?

I'm trying to fix my old bass guitar to resell. I have gotten around to replacing parts and tighten the screws but I have a problem: the wiring. For years my input jack does not register a connection to an amplifier, making it virtually useless as an electric bass. I found no problem with the internal components, except for a frayed wire that is connected and only partially soolder the original (it's one of the leaders of the volume knob to knob tone control). I'm going to resolder it myself, but you must remove the original weld, if the frayed wires still connected? Also, what is the easiest way to fix this thread? Thanks!

You will need some tools and some materials - for a single repair. off and no one) electronics type soldering iron (-pencil) at least 25 watts or more. Flights b) welding machine c) De-solder braid and / or a solder sucker d) small pair of wire cutters and diagonal) pair of small needle nose pliers-All of the above is sold at Radio Shack or the equivalent, and the lot will set you back U.S. $ 35 or less - and if you insist on class first tools, like me, who can easily double. Clip from wire closest to the control as. Heat set (in control) with the iron until the solder runs and absorb it with solder-braid. This should allow you remove the frayed wires at the same time. Clear. Takes a bit of old wire, tin, solder cool (the heat of the wire and melt a little solder on it). Connect the wire to control with the pliers, making a good mechanical connection first. After welding with fresh solder. - Remember the warmth of the piece and melt the solder onto it. It is not enough heat the solder and run it in part. You may want to try to bridge the first connection with an alligator jumper to make sure that your problem is before you invest tools and make a mess of it, if you have no experience with the technique. If it works correctly, you may simply want to describe the problem and healing and let the buyer make the repairs. You can cut your production cost of equipping oneself and not risk making a hash of it.
