how to do a proper set up?

[Thunderbird90DB]

right, ive decided im gonna do a proper set up of my basses and guitars this summer after my a levels.
problem: i havent much idea what to do and do it properly, and havent got any musician friends to teach me. and NO im not paying for a shop to do it, i want to learn.

Any advice guys?

Also from Wales - but needing a "how to shield your bass so that even deaf aid loops cannot mess with it" guide.

Any clues as to a good one?

The harsh reality is that I am fed up of paying people to do stuff which just does not work. It is me and a soldering iron from now on.

The first step to doing a proper set-up is posting in the appropriate forum.
