How do you make a headphone mix when working with a singer who doesn't have a definitive request becuase they don't have enough experience to know or the ability to articulate it?

Do you have an opinion on which instrument provides the best pitch reference? I've been told by a top vocal coach to crank the bass, which I thought was a bad idea until he demo'd a few things on a piano which made me reconsider.

Do you have particular intstuments you like to keep high and do you make the vocal the loudest thing in the headphone mix?
