Bass Wahs that DONT crap out and cannot be DIY repaired?!?

Just went thru my 2nd or 3rd white Dunlop Bass Wah.

Like the way they sound, but the way they are built makes them damn near disposeable. Open one up, you'll see what I mean. I play/tour a lot but keep it on a fixed pedal board.

Latest one initially made my rig sound like my amp or cable was ****ing up. Found out the culprit and rememdied by unplugging and plugging back in.

Then the ****er decides it doesn't want to run on adapter power anymore, or work at all period.

NEED SUGGESTIONS ON ROAD_WORTHY BASS WAHS.

Have tried a Snarling Dogs Whine-O Wah guitar wah. Ass-tacular.

Tried a Crybaby w/tone cap mod for bass. Ass-tastic.

Wilson Effects wahs. There's a few different ones. Absolutely love them for their versatility and tone. They are also solidly built from very high quality components.

Wilson is a great company with great products. Also, check out the G Lab Bass Wowee Wah, which is built like a tank, and has pressure-sensitive activation but is still true bypass.

+1 - I love my Wilson Freaker, solid, sounds great, and has an LED, which I can't believe isn't standard issue on all wahs.
