Do I really have to get my bass set up by a pro? I'm usually able to do a decent job myself, short of levelling and recrowning. I'm not looking for low action on this bass, either.

I don't think a pro setup is required (although a good set of nut files is).
This is stuff I don't know how to do. So, I take my newly built guitars in to get this done. The results have been rewarding.

Like, does he need to know anything about the truss rod in the Pro neck, and is the compound radius going to throw him off if he doesn't know it's there? I've never done a final setup so these may seem like dumb questions, but when I go to take my guitar in, it would be nice to know if I need to tell him anything to make sure it gets done right. I don't want it to get screwed up because of something stupid.
