they can set it up for you, if they know what they are doing. it's usually best to not mess with the truss rod, as you can put it out and never get it back to where it needs to be. i used to take my basses to get them set-up with a guy i knew up north. he had one of those spectrographs (or whatever they are called) that analyzed the tone with what looked like green sine waves on a round screen. way out of my league.
i can do a basic set-up, like getting all of the open string harmonics in tune (12th, 24th and 36th) so when you fret a note you are fairly certain that the note is true. outside of that, i leave it to the professionals.
