I'd hunt down a known ground point, like the volume or gain pot's CCW lug, I think the cases are grounded on BMP's so that would be bat neg on an NPN version, or pick a transistors emitter resistor, follow to the other side and that would be ground.
 I think the battery - connects to the ring of the  input jack though.
Convention creates following, following creates convention.
