Would one of the new Squier mustang bass necks fit on a Fender Mustang bass body and vice-a-versa?

The Fender has the truss rod adjustment at the base of the neck, the Squier doesn't. There is a definite difference with the fretboard radius.
They should fit into each others body's slot, although how good of fit is to be seen.

Combo Paste from Squier and Fender's website...

Thank you for the reply. So a mod to accomodate the trust rod adjustment point is the main challenge. That is do-able!
