It sounds to me like it just needs a good set up. New strings maybe, then adjust the height of the bridhe saddles, relief in the neck. Then see if anything else needs to be done.
If you haven't done this before and aren't confident in your ability to do it yourself, then take it to a competent tech. It should be a fairly quick job and not too expensive. Ask around your area and find someone who's good. Not all music store techs are good.
That's a nice bass and you should be able to get it sounding and playing great. It's worth putting a bit of money into it.
