this isn't quite accurate
yes you 'can' run a regular wah for a bass but it won't give you nearly as much response as a proper bass wah. i've got a vox wah for guitar and a cry-baby bass wah and there is a VERY noticeable difference in both pedals.
a bass wah is made to handle the low frequencies generated by a bass guitar, you'll get greater response and a better overall effect by using one over a conventional guitar wah.
if i've said it once i've said it 1000 times. it all really depends on the sound YOU want. a guitar wah will work on a bass but the first thing you'll notice is a distinct reduction in your low end tone. the scope of the effect is also significantly reduced. it ends up sounding more like you're scratching tin foil on a screen door over the sound of a bass coming through a telephone than booty shaking underwater funk.
every crybaby bass wah i've seen for sale has been close enough to a regular crybaby in price to make the difference negligible.
also... big muff + bass = GOLD!
