Bass Guitar Problems

[Attention]

Ok, so, I Have a regular electric Aria bass guitar which I use on a daily basis with my amp. Just today, I was playing a song - which I finished, I went to play it again, and nothing. No bass sound was being received through my amp.

I took out my lead and reset the amp, tried again - nothing. I took out the lead again, and touched it, the amp made noise (as expected). I then decided that it was most likely a problem with the bass itself. I took off the back panel and looked inside, everything seemed normal.

I then thought perhaps the problem was with the pickups, I tried to take them off also, but couldn't due to the short wires holding them in. So, that is my problem.

Please message if you have any solutions or ideas. Any idea is appreciated I'd like to avoid going to a bass repairer if possible.

Thanks in advance
