If I remember correctly the intro to Primus' "Fish On" uses the open C quite a bit.

My first thought was some of the tunes off Victor Wooten's solo album "A Show of Hands". There are a couple of tunes on there "More Love" (I think) and "A Show of Hands" (Positive) that were played with what Victor called a "tenor bass". Essentially, they were played on a 4-string bass strung and tuned A, D, G, C.

Other than that, I would go with the suggestion of writing your own tunes. Or, transpose any tune you like that uses the G extensively up a fourth (i.e. play it on the C). This is easily done because in standard tuning relative intervals are the same no matter where you start on the neck. For example, a C (3rd fret A string) to an F (3rd fret D string) is the same interval (4th) as an F (3rd fret D string) to an A#/Bb (3rd fret G string). Or (last one), find a tune that uses higher positions on the G string and translate that to a lower position on the neck and incorporate the C string. Playing tunes like this will give them a slightly more open, airier tone.

Finally, just keep checking back. I've got a couple of tunes on my first album that I plan on posting later this year that make use of the High C.

Hope this helps!

P.S. I'm one of the few people I know of that play a 5-string with a High C as opposed to a Low B. For what it's worth.

All right this is really stretchin the memory here.... but I think the middle riff in "White Noise by: Marc Bonilla" may be one. It was long ago, but I seem to remember having to tune up to play it the way it's played. Like I said, that was a long time ago so I'm not positive.... kickin' song though.

Yeah, for a really long time i used the high C as opposed to a low B on my 5 string. But really the only use i got out of it was "jerry was a racecar driver" and a few victor wooten songs.

Quite a few Primus tunes where Les uses the high C to strum chords or do some tapping. Fish on is quite melodic and uses the high C. Steve Bailey uses a sixer and plays a lot of stuff quite high up, think John Pattittucci does aswell.
