This was my thought. It tapers wider away from the nut too so you'd likely end up with a lot of dead space to either side using a standard 12-string bridge.

bump before I start to shred these

That is a pretty thing! I love how the bottom of the bridge matches the curve of the body, very elegant.

If you want to spend that amount of money on a Tobias-designed non-custom bass I'm not sure why you wouldn't get an export MTD. Aside from nostalgia I guess.

I'm holding out for the American Unprofessional range tbh

Looks very nice, but it has triggered one of my pettier pet hates - any product manager who specs a 4 string with the number 5 in the model name needs their ass kicked.

My kingdom for companies to announce things without making me watch a bloody video

Much better than the cricket bat style Steinbergers to my taste. Can we get NS and whoever specced the new Jackson Rhodes sharkfin bass in the same room and see what they come up with though

...how do you tune it? Is that the thumbscrews at the bridge?

2x boxes, each containing some combination of additional cardboard and bubblewrap. Free to anyone who can collect from Glasgow G51, near the south end of the Clyde tunnel and QEUH. Been keeping in case I sell something but could do with the space back. Happy for anyone to take either or both. Additional tat not included.

Just thinking about this is stressing me out 🙃

As a noted pointy headstock appreciator I'm here for it.

Is that a Vai style handle by the top horn?

It sounds fine, but pretty anonymous so far. I've not had the time or energy to restring it yet but I don't expect it to be terribly characterful. Looks cool though. There doesn't seem to be many about though.
