5 string Rickenbacker

Hello, and thanks for the help. I know the Schaller 3D bass bridge has a wide range of string spacing options, but out of the box is the string spacing on the Ric 16.5mm? Also, what is the thickness at the nut, front to back, and again at the 12th fret? I had read in past threads, that the necks were thicker. Unless I missed it, which is easily possible, that information on the RIC site isn't there, or even a picture of a 5 string. Thanks again, hope everyone is doing well. Take care.
 
I have a 4003 Rick converted to 5-string. Awesome bass! Small hands, the close string spacing works great for me. Check the attached image.
