Howdy, One tuning that I use ALL OF THE TIME . . . and seldom see on any charts (exactly) for one reason or another is: C,G,D,G,B,D Or raise it a half step: C#,G#,D#,G#,C,D# I's just like open G (or open G# if raised a half step) but with a Sus 4 on the bottom. There are a lot of tunings on those charts that will have 5 out of the 6 strings like mine but differ by just one string. I love the ready dissonance that's always available between the bass string and the 5th string. That's what I've used for about a dozen years now (or some transposed variant thereof). Just thought I'd pipe in with my 2 cents.
