Been noticing a faint buzzzzz sound lately...

.....coming out of the high frequency driver of my rig with the bass plugged in. As soon as I touch something metal on the bass (strings, bridge or whatever), the buzz goes away. This has been irritating me lately, but its not that big of a deal since my hands are almost always on the strings anyways. Nonetheless, it still an irritant.

I have been experiencing something similar on another guitar (not bass, but still...). I get the same buzzzzz sound. However, in order to get it to go away I have to touch the pickup itself. Touching the strings, bridge etc. makes no difference.

Anyone know what causes this?
