If you mean frets 1-3 (roughly), and if you mean clanky as in fret buzz then yes it could be the lack of tension. Your old strings may have caused the neck to bow, now you have changed your strings to lower tension the bow may have been alleviated slightly. Causing the neck to become flatter, thus needing a bit of truss rod undo erey .

least clanky round wounds available to my ears. Your bass might need a set up.
