My pleasure - FWIW I've been a fan for 40 years: found out about them by way of Pete Fornatale's "Mixed Bag" Sunday-morning acoustic-music show on WNEW-FM radio (NYC) in the early-80's, when he was playing their "Alive" album in its entirety. First song I ever heard was "Day of the Clipper" which, upon hearing Steve Romanoff's driving 12-string rhythm and the late Tom Rowe's virtuosic bass line, led me to believe that ex-Gordon Lightfoot/Jim Croce bassist John Stockfish had joined/formed a new band and gone out on the road - turns out I wasn't too far off as all three were major Lightfoot fans, and they freely admit to his influence on "Clipper" (among others); BTW another excellent example of Chuck Romanoff's deft drop-G tenor banjo work, coming through loud and clear on this live recording:

Jim Mills was a great help to me with my Grandfather's MB-11 and he is very easy to get in touch with!!

If you want a no-damage susbtitution 5 string neck for a little bluegrass, below is a link to an option. You'll need to specify the flange cut (no-cost option) and add tuners and neck bolts and 5-string bridge that match your Gibson exactly. Those accessories are available many places. You can re-install the original neck (bolt-on) and bridge any time.
