will MIA necks work on a fender MIM body

recently i bought a used MIM 5string jazz bass and later found out that the neck had suffered severe damage that would cost me far more to repair than to buy a new neck. so ive been looking at necks online and i saw on ebay people are selling MIA necks and i was wondering if one of those necks would fit on my MIM?
 
I looked into this a while back. The answer I got was was yes, for the most part. There may be a possibility of something weird. Measure the neck pocket and compare that to the standard Fender neck pocket dimensions to make sure. My (2001) MIM, for example, is exactly the same.
