Husband, boyfirend, same difference :D
The most important thing is, your keyboard self-fixed itself, just by visiting ComputerHope.
In this case, I have to congratulate myself :D

    Bad girl? Do you mean me? I hope not! XD

    Yes, it seems to have fixed itself, but thanks everyone for your advice. I'll try to come here from now on before I bother my boyfriend about my computer troubles! I mean, sure it's what he's trained to do, what he's good at and what he plans to do for a career, but I don't want to burden him with my troubles all the time. He's already recently fixed my electric bass guitar, my keyboard/piano, and my watch after all...

    What kind of keyboard?

      I believe the keyboard is a Yamaha, but I'm not sure. I've never actually played it, and I've only seen it once. It was my cousin's keyboard. It's really old, she's probably had it since I was 10 or 11 (I'm 20 now), and it's been broken since I was 12. The power input jack has been loose since then, and apparently it just needed to be soldered. He said it was an easy fix, aside from taking out and putting back the 40 screws that held it together that is!

      The bass is a Spector Performer 4 Classic Black Cherry. This is it: http://gearhounds.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=505 It's actually my third bass. My first was a starter, and that piece of crap cheap bass still works as good as it did when I bought it, too bad it wasn't good quality to begin with. My second bass died less than two months after I bought it, and my boyfriend couldn't figure out what was wrong, so we traded it in for my current bass! Ahh I love that bass... it's been broken for months now though. The neck bowed back, pulling the strings tight onto the frets. I could get no sound from it. It was easy to fix, it just took a long time to slowly tighten/loosen the trust rod to fix it (I'm not sure which worked).

      Tightening the truss rod would invert the bow, yeah that does take a while.  A friend of mine is a bass player he had to do the same with his Lado.

      That's a pretty nice bass though, do you have the 4 string or the 5 string?

        I have the four string. They didn't have the five string when I traded, plus it would have been much more expensive. I only had that day to trade it in too, since I was at university at the time, and I was only home for Thanksgiving. I played a five string for the first time after not playing my broken bass for about two months, and that threw me off so much! I'm only a beginner, and I'm out of practice to boot. I can't read music either, but that's why I bought the keyboard. I'll learn how to read music, and play the piano.

        My boyfriend has an electric guitar, so we compliment each other rather well. His is an Ibanez XPT700 Red Chameleon. http://www.ibanez.com/ElectricGuitars/model-XPT700 It changes from red to yellow to green. He's much more experienced than I am though, but he can teach me!

        I just bought a Yahama long neck limited edition from a down and out player...
        Couldn't pass up the deal and i'm now over the guilt thing....

        Have to say i'm pretty impressed with the feel of it.

        I need a name for it though.

        I've never heard of a Yahama before Patio, is it like a Yamaha at all?

        That's pretty cool Amostar.  One helluva paint job on that one, must look wicked under stage lighting.

        Well, keep up the practicing though, you will get better, and nothing is better than having someone you can play with.

        The rest will hopefully be history...
