Fender does put a setup on them, but sometimes after settling it is not quite right. Often times a guitar store will do a setup on it, but seeing as though the place you bought it from is GC, I would follow this guide http://www.fender.com/support/basses.php and double check everything.

Fender does a basic set up. With the transporting to the dealer tho, some setling in happens. Most big shops just either give u a new on from the box/case, or the floor model. Guitar Center actually has been known to set up if you ask for it and tell them it's part of the sell, they'll do it for free. If you didn't ask for it they won't. Also if it's not set up properly, take it to another Fender dealer, just ask for a complete set up. Charges have ranged for me from $15 - $40, depends on the shop. Congrats! Now post some pix :lol:
