EMG pickup wiring quandary

Bit of a noob question here, please bear with me!

I've installed a J set of EMGs plus a BQC system into my bass. No signal coming from the neck pickup.

Now, the neck pickup had been used with another preamp and the black ground wire had been removed from the joint. I found the removed ground wire (2 inches long), and re-soldered it to the joint. Was that a mistake?

Will I need to de-solder the joint first and locate the ground wire underneath? NB: by "joint" I'm referring to the big soldered joint where the white cable should split into black/white.

I hope this makes sense!!

Cheers for any advice..
