My personal opinion is to take it to an Amp Tech.

here is a link that shows quite a lot of schematics for those of you
like my self that cant afford to give someone $100.00 to solder a ground wire, as i suspected its just soldering the green wire to the chasis.
if you cant read a schematic then i would agree w/ the previous post " get a tech to help.

Yep, green goes to ground. I had to do the same on my '72 Bassman 100. The nice long heavy gauge wire that I replaced the stock wire with was a nice touch too. This amp being a stack, at least now the plug reaches the floor!
