Fernandes J-bass neck replacement

I have an old Fernandes J-bass that I bought back in like 95-96, defretted in 02-03 and am wanting to buy another fretted neck for it. Its not that I don't like it fretless, but the novelty has kind of wore off on me. Besides that, I've always wanted to swap the rosewood for maple. I found a maple Mighty Mite jazz neck online, and was wondering if anyone here knows whether it'll be a direct replacement. Have any of you swapped the neck on a Fernandes J? I figured this would be the place to look before pulling the trigger lol. I'd hate to order it, only to find the pocket is different or something.
