Will EMG JHZ's fit a Squier Affinity 5 string Jazz Bass?

I'm planning on upgrading to a Squier Affinity 5 String to replace my Drive Wildfire and i was wondering if the EMG JHZ's would fit or not because while I have seen videos of this bass with the stock pickups and it sounds great to me. I would like to put in something that has a little more oomph and from what I hear about EMG nobody really has anything bad to say about them. Any help here guys would be appreciated.

Try the Squier before you decide to upgrade. The stock pickups are surprisingly good and have a lot of output. I have two Affinity Vs and have kept the stock pickups. I put an Audere in one and a stacked knob setup in the other. I don't think the passive EMGs would be an upgrade. I you do want to upgrade, the Squier pickups are the same dimensions as the Standard Fender V, so any aftermarket replacement will work.
