Unfortunately no, an Icon neck won't fit on your 80s bass, at least not in its original configuration. The linkages are very different.
That, if your neck has the same overall bend as the current model(with the tuning slide in the middle then you may be able to swap the the register keys on the Icon neck with the stock neck's (fellow BBoard member jdbassplayer has demonstrated this) in order to fit the Icon neck onto your older bass, as the the register key on both iterations are the same except for the linkage.
However if your neck has the even older design with a lower angle(an angle I wish Buffet still offered) and a tuning slide right below the mouthpiece socket then this may be more challenging- as you would at the very least need to modify your Icon neck's register key to fit on your older Buffet bass.
