Try playing closer to the lower fret and work on some strengthening exercises especially for the pinky.
New strings may help also.

It could be one of three things
1 left hand technique- press hard just behind the frett
2 out of tune- if the strings are flat they will be too loose and buzz
3 the neck- if the bass was shipped if could have taken a humidity hit in transport or there may be a difference in humidity between you and the seller. if this is the case the truss rod will need adjusted by a music shop. This is called a "setup" and will run about $50
lets hope it's something simple.

Sweeet!!!!
I still have a little buzz, but like they said, with some practice, it'll go away.
