Musicman Jack Squeal / No Sound and Where to get fixed in Central Scotland

A couple of times now my EBMM Sterling's jack has stopped outputting sound and instead emitted a high pitched squeal.

 

I've found threads on the sound cutting out but not squeeling. Is this likely to be the usual failed jack socket issue?

 

It happened during the first song in the set last night so I unplugged it and used my Sire D5 for the rest of the night.

 

I've changed the battery and tried different cables but it's definitely something wrong with the bass itself.

 

 

Secondly I ma terrible with a soldering iron so does anyone know anyone in the Central Scotland area who could repair this for me?

Does it have passive or active electronics?

 

I had an active Cort years ago that used to do this after about 6 months of buying new from a shop. 

 

It turned out to be a bad solder joint on a pot casing that wasn't obvious to the eye but eventually broke off so was able to spot and repair with a soldering iron.  Was totally reliable after that.
