Can't help if we don't know what the problem is or even what kind of bass. Need more info, although at this point I think it's safe to say that you have no idea what you're doing and should take it to a repair shop and let them do a setup on it. Best $50 to $75 you will ever spend. Seriously.

Yes, it's possible to replace it... no problem.
What did you do to the nut on your instrument that got screwed up?

Let us know what you did to ruin it.

If you cut too deep into the string groove you might be able to partially fill the slot back in with a mix of filing dust and ACC super glue.
