It makes it brighter. Part of the reason humbuckers are bassier than singles isn't just the extra resistance, its that due to each coil sensing a slightly different freuqnecy in the string, more high order harmonics get cancelled out by the common mode rejection that gets rid of the hum.
Of course, most mini hums are made with that taken into account, and are thus wound bassier.
