here's a way to see if your wire is grounded...
you have to have a digital multimeter for this:
up by the battery, remove the fuse from the power wire. now, go back to the basslink and disconnect the power and the ground wires from the amp. now take the multimeter and test for continuity between the power and ground wire. you could try testing for resistance (ohms), and if it's low then your power wire is grounded at some point. i'll reiterate what I said earlier though, I vote bad amp.

The resistance between the + and - power terminals will probably be close to 0.
There's probably caps across the power terminals of the basslink, so if you did this, it would look like a dead short as the caps are charging.
It's probably a bad MOSFET in the power supply stage of the amp.
