Bass Wah Wah

Yes, I concur. As much as I do attempt to "Bring da funk" I am usually much more successful in my exploits to "Bring da noize."

I don't think it's neccesarilly about the funk.
Chris Squire did it very well on Tormato and it had schmeck all to do with the funk.
I'm convinced that there is a way to use it without resorting to any established cliche.
and thankyou to everyone who's replied to this thread so far.

Well, I got the Digitech Bass Synth Wah Envelope Filter and its pretty cool, and... the rest of the band loves it! The two autowah envelope filters are the best feature; I'm still playing around with the synth sounds. There's only so many songs where you can have the bass going "yeeeeaaaaaaah!" or "oh oh oh".
The autowah does pretty much what I used to use a real wah for, but with (obviously) less effort.

Now to sell my bass chorus pedal...

Just in case anyone else is reading and needs suggestions on wah's for bass, a few years ago I took the plunge and got a Teese RMC III. Don't know if that particular model is around, but IIRC Geoffrey Teese does nothing but wahs these days. Mine is the adjustable model (trim pots inside the unit). As far as how it sounds with bass - think Yessongs version of The Fish.
