I'm sure this may cause disagreement, but in some areas the guy setting up basses for symphony players may not do as nice a setup if the player is playing jazz as a luthier specializing in that market. In my area there is a tendency for the jazz guys to to to one shop and the symphony players to go to the other.
I agree, it's essential that anyone working on a bass have years of experience and training and know what they are doing.

All the guys I have used in the past do work for all types of players. Music is not written in just one Key. A guy only able to set-up a Bass one way should find another Job!
