Tell him - or better yet SHOW him how you play. Play it the way you normally do, and dig in the same way you do when performing, slap if you normally slap, go all over the fingerboard if that's what you do. Then tell him what you like and don't like about the way it plays.

You do this because a proper setup adjusts the instrument to how you play.

Very good advice.
