Common sense stuff mostly, heel dimensions, neck thickness, scale length, heel shape, whether you need shims and where. Does the neck attach in the same manner or how can you adapt it. Quality and features of the replacement; the more OCD you have, the longer the list gets.
Would this Mighty Mite Mighty Mite Neck for Fender Bass | stewmac.com neck have a perfect fit and scale on the Charve 2b?
You have provided no information about your bass so I have to go by the generic Charvel information I'm aware of. First that Mighty might neck has a round heel not a square one, so I think that already eliminates a 'perfect fit'. Charvels have a square heel as far as I can tell, but a Fender round heel neck will fit in a Fender square heel pocket, and can be used if there are no other issues. Unfortunately Charvels have other issues. Every Charvel neck I have ever seen has at least 21 frets; that mighty mite replacement has 20. so you are missing about 5/8 of an inch in neck length. So just going that far, I think no the Mighty mite isn't a suitable replacement.
TL/DR: NO, it won't fit.
