Parallel vs series in pick-ups and other questions

[DrPepper09]

So I've been looking the new EBMM Big Al (seems to be ernie balls match to the fender jaguar), and the schematics diagram is confusing me. When it says that when none of the switches are selected it runs pups 1 + 2 on a series. Would this cause the pups to share more of the sound, rather than in a parallel circuit where each would be basically on their own, or am i mistaken?

Also when its describing how the bass is routed it says that the middle pup is controlled by the bridge pup switch, and the bridge pup is controlled by the middle pup switch. Why is it set up this way?

if the other link doesn't work, then click on diagrams and schematics on the right side just below the pictures

Yes, they will share the sound and the volume will *usually be louder too.

*In all cases I've seen.

Series = higher resistance , paralell = lower resistance.
Series loder more bottom end punchy think P bass. Paralell lower volume more mid swetter , think Jazz
Yes I know P & J are Fender but easly best to compare to as most people know these, also link dosent work, for wiring diagrame
