Buzzing Problem

ok so here is my problem. i got a squier classic vibe 50s p bass. its a really good bass. but i kinda noticed something. When i touch the pickup i seem to get a buzzing sound when i touched the strings the buzzing goes away and it makes a small "popping" sound. is this a shielding problem or a grounding problem or maybe just a cheap pickup? and how much is it to get it fixed?
