Could be several things including uneven frets. If you don't know what you're doing (not picking on you, I don't either) take it to a pro. Let a tech look at it. It could involve anything from truss rod to filing frets. Any of that, if done wrong, could ruin a perfectly good bass that just needs a little tweeking.

Edit to add: Looks like you just joined. WELCOME!

Was the replacement string different from the one that broke? That could explain it.
