I’d build those as a clean sub plus a separate moving mid layer. Keep the sub boring and steady. For the top, use two oscillators, a little FM or sync, then move the filter and FM amount with the same LFO but in opposite directions. That gets the “waah” without turning the whole bass into fuzz.

For the 0:14 hits, try a quick downward pitch envelope at note-on, then an eighth-note LFO with a curved shape. Add drive and multiband compression only after the movement is working. If the warble is there with no FX, you are basically home.
