Other than ebay or craigslist???...good luck. Unless you're talking aftermarket. Then you might have some options.

Bass lines like a big, funky giant
EB, like most manufacturers, doesn't typically sell parts separately.
I believe you can get third-party bridges and tuners from people like hipshot, gotoh, etc.
I have never seen anyone selling replacement necks or bodies for Stingrays, Sterlings, Sabres, S.U.B.s or Bongos. That doesn't mean they're not out there somewhere, just that I have never seen them in the obvious places you would find Fender bodies and necks.

I dont think you'll be able to find much.
However, I do know you can buy replacement bridges. (basscentral.com)

It shouldn't be difficult to find replacement tuners and bridges, at sites like WDMusic and Hipshot Products.
Only one company I know of makes a replacement neck, but it's very expensive and NOT the usual EBMM material: Moses Graphite.
And you will NOT find replacement bodies. There's a damn good reason for that.
Getting down to the point... why would you need to replace anything on an EBMM bass besides the pickguard, pickups, and preamp? The rest is as good as it gets, and IMO, if you don't like the sound of your particular EBMM bass, you may want to try another model, or perhaps even another brand.
