A lot of bass amps seem to have this problem, there was a thread here recently about another one, I think a Warwick.
It's just poor design - the output should be properly balanced, in which case connecting either side of the output to ground simply creates an unbalanced signal... instead of silence.

To be honest, XLR outputs on amps are a pain in the backside. Half the time they aren't implemented correctly, and even if they are, most of the time the soundman doesn't want to know - probably due to experience with the first lot - and insists on using his own DI box. So you're actually better off with an unbalanced output - and your own DI box, if you're the soundman...
