Try them both out to see, well hear what suits the sound you want.
Also this should be under effects not pickups and electronics.

Generally speaking, the standalone effect is usually better than the multi-fx equivalent. That doesn't work 100% of the time, but often enough.
Having said that, in this case the me-50b might be better since I don't believe the 535Q is tuned for bass frequencies. Dunlop also make the 105Q, which is.
As was said above, try 'em both!

Wah, Wah, Wah.
Very subjective, you really must try anything you can. Some guitar wahs work great. I've used a Weeping Demon on the "bass" setting and it was cool. Had an old Dunlop Bass Crybaby that was useful for making my bass sound bad and broken.

my crybaby 105Q sounds a fair bit better than the wah on my GT6B, the envelope on the GT6B doesn't seem to open up as much. the advantage with the multieffect wah though is you can setup different patches with other effects like reverb & distortio.....but as far as slapbass solos, the crybaby wins easy
