Are you fretting the notes in the style of "The Price Is Right"?
What I mean is, are you getting your fingertips as close to the fret without going over the fret when you play the notes?
It will take some time for your ring & pinky fingers to develop the strength required to play bass. But, keep practicing and they'll get the hang of it soon enough. The important thing is to recognize it when you hear it (which you have) then consciously work to not let it happen anymore.
Once you've built up your finger strength a bit, the next feat will be to learn just how much pressure you need to cleanly play a note without pushing too hard so you aren't beat from playing after a single song.
As far as I know it's a WP4F original.
