Cliff Burton "Wah" sound?

0:45 to 0:57. Watch it. He like, moves his over the E string, but he must be hitting a switch? How do you do this?
He had other basses and did the same effect. He did it on studio recordings as well.
Thanks.

Watching Cliff play....man he had some heavy magical aura surrounding him. No one knew how he created all these weird sounds. Take a look at the 81,81 videos, his solo where he beats the strings with his right hand, simultaneously using the wah wah. Incredible. So sorry, but I can not answer your question.
