As an intermediate 4 string player (blues, church rock and smooth Jazz) I'm being asked what set-up specs I want for a new Lakeland 5501 which will have DR 045-125 med round stainless strings. What should I say without sounding like an idiot so the people doing the set up will give me something I can use without worry. This is my first 5 string bass and I really don't know anything about a new bass set up. Thanks.

Tell them in simple terms how you like your 4 string setup to play. do you like low action with a little fret buzz, low action with no fret buzz, medium action no fret buzz maybe some buzz when you dig in, etc. if you don't know, tell them to set it up to factory specs (see above) then learn how to do setups on your own. it will save you money down the road. Hope that hit your question.
