What's your string height for orchestral playing?

I've been playing a bass my school has lent me for a while, until I'm able to find a nice one for myself. I know setup is a common problem with school and student basses and the string height on my bass is really high and theres not much I can do about it since there are no adjuster wheels on the bridge. Just out of curiosity, for any orchestral DB'ers, what are your string heights? Is there a most common or standard string height measurement for each string for orchestral playing? thanks
