Electric clicks when I touch the strings? (bass)

Hi, I just noticed something today, if I have my hands off the strings then touch the strings there's often a little electric pop/clicking noise coming through the amp. Is this bad? I might've gotten a tiny shock earlier, before I noticed the noise, but I could've just been imagining that.

edit: uhh move this to amps

its just the pickups, singles will do that with certain amps and amp settings

sounds like a grounding issue, maybe. 

Is it bad?  Only if it bothers you.
