Mesa Combo speaker lead issue...

So, after some daft twat loaded up my gear for me (FYI, drunk friends do not good roadies make), the speaker jack on the cable from the speaker on my Mark 4 took a beating and now is in pieces. Essentially, is there an easy way to repair this by either cutting the cable and putting a new jack on, or ordering a new speaker cable and resolding it from the speaker. 

Info/Advice mucho welcome!

    My Mk 4 had a similar fate, but that ended up with a smashed speaker o/p socket...oh how we laughed ;) I prefer a solder joint to those crimped spade connectors, just make sure the terminal is v v v clean before you solder it, they get surprisingly "dirty"

    It's easy enough to just shorten it a bit at the jack end - Mesa always make them a bit too long.

    This is a good reason to think about flightcasing your amp... makes it "helper"-proof.
