According to his recent bass tales video with Scott Devine the design is based on the silent guitars. They went for headless and the bracing was originally detatchable so he could pack it down as small as possible for use on a plane to practice for a Pattitucci gig he was covering. It was only after the initial designs that they decided to permanently fix the brace to the body. 

(Also why it's a six string and not 5)

I doubt it. I think the last time he mentioned it, it was built for him taking a standby gig where he needed to practice on the plane.

I would be interested in one if it did though!
