DGDG is an interesting tuning to experiment with. You could view it as an "Open G" for bass (or G5), or as a combination of bass and cello tunings, or a "cello sandwich" with fifths bookended by fourths, or as "Drop D-G").
It has a nice movable major 7th chord using a combination of fretted notes and natural harmonics (in this case alternating a major third apart), and demonstrates how you can use alternate tunings to generate song ideas, even on a bass. I probably would not have discovered the two oscillating chords on other instruments.
Once I start to track up an idea it starts to change. I had used it for a heavier proggy arrangement, using strumming, which can work well as rhythm guitar parts. What started as delicate noodling while watching a movie turned into something much heavier with some added synth atmospheres.
