What you are describing is the natural response of single coil pick ups which is technically known as 60-cycle hum. You will get that hum with ALL single coil pickups regardless of brand or which bass you use when you solo the neck or bridge pickup but it does go away when both pickups are at 100% or "middle position" as you put it. However, some basses may have better shielding than others to where the hum is not as loud. I own two Sires (V7 5 string and V7 Vintage 4 string) and the 60-cycle hum is not very audible in the mix when either pickup is soloed.

Just played a Sire M7 4 string hanging up used at the local guitar store. Well, I won't be buying that Lakland 55-01 I've been drooling over. First time in a long time I've looked at, tried out a bass that made me giggle! I'm a gettin' me a Sire 5! drool

Mine arrived today, albeit with a hinge missing on one of the battery covers but beside that...what a bass! Was going to get the Fender American Elite Jazz. I’ve saved myself over £1,000
