I have recently/ successfully built a Clyde McCoy wah circuit , and it sounds amazing as it should!!! My question is. . I want to build another, however, I woild like to build a bass wah on this same circuit. . Does anyone have any idea  as to which components need to be changed to different values or exactly what needs to happen to make this work?

No-brain answer: double the value of all capacitors.

That shifts their action-point an octave lower.

the dunlop bass wah uses a .068 sweep cap ( cap betwixt ind and Q2 e).
there is an obscure dunlop factory doc that gives values for various versions of their wahs. listed is a clav-wah, which never saw light of day as a real product as far as i know - it lists a .22 sweep cap, which would be a very vomittey sounding thing for guitar.

i recently built a modded vox for a local clavinet guy playing in a funk band,  installed .024 sweep cap, the guy called friday to tell me how perfect the sweep is.
my life is a tribute to the the great men and women who held this country together when the world was in trouble. my debt cannot be repaid, but i will do my best.
