Thank you... I'm absolutely blown away by this bass.

Excuse my ignorance, but what does MG mean??

Welcome. MG stands for Mapleglo, the "color" of your 4001. For a full rundown of colors, see here:

Thanks!

ME on the jackplate, making it May '73. I'm considering putting a period correct Rick bridge back on, but I love how this sounds so much I might just leave it as is.
