Replacement parts for a 70s Encore J bass

[b-bottom]

Hey all. I picked up a beat to hell Encore J bass today for $20. The thing must’ve sat in a wet basement and before that, it was treated really really badly. I won’t get into all the specifics, but I would like to get it in working order.
I’m going to need new tuners and pickups. It had those tiny cheap Japanese tuning machines in it and the pickups are dead.
Does anyone have any idea about what kind of tuning machines would fit this thing? And if you happen to know about the pups as well that would be great. Thanks for your help.

Sorry to say this, but you bought a wall hanger. Even inexpensive tuners will cost @ $30-50, and the pickups are proprietary that can't be duplicated. To find something even close will cost you approaching the cost of a new Squier bass. The bridges are notoriously in the wrong place, measured for the absolute scale length, but not allowing for tuning compensation, so they usually need to be removed and moved back @ 1/4 inch. Try soaking the tuners in penetrating oil to see if you can get some life back into them, of course drying them completely before remounting. Measure the fret board side of the nut to the crown of the 12th fret, then use that measurement to see if the bridge saddles are in the right place with the G string saddle toward the front of the intonation screw but just a hair longer than the nut to 12th fret measurement, and the E string saddle having about 1/4 inch travel back from that to intonate properly. If the pickups appear dead, carefully take the cover off to see if any wires are loose inside the pickup which may be reparable. I can't help you with replacement pickups. The best thing to do is measure the dimensions, including the mounting hole centers, and if they are truly dead, look for used replacements that someone doesn't advertise as "vintage" with an inflated price.
