EBMM Sterling pickup selector, getting more than 5 options

Hello!

So I’ve never really had a bass with a pickup selector. Recently got myself an EBMM Sterling HS and I love it.

But I have a question that maybe is dumb… maybe not. When I start with the pickup selector in 1st position (neck position/Coil 3+phantom) and move it slowly towards 2nd position, at some point in between the two there is a click/audible volume increase from the speaker and I get a different tone having the switch there than either 1st or 2nd position. Same thing happens between position 3 and 4.

Maybe I don’t know enough about how the wiring works? What could be happening here? Is it possible to have both wirings active at the same time (something like Coil 3+phantom+2 or such)? Anyone else ever have this experience or can shed any light on it?

Thanks!
