I would reccomend that you take your bass to a shop and have it set up.  It sounds to me that the action (height of the stirngs) is too low and/or the truss rod may need adjusting.  These are not difficult to do yourself, but if you are new at this, having a pro do is well worth the price (usually around $25 - $40 in most cases).
