Cursive - The Recluse (videos inside)

I'm having a bit of trouble nailing this bass line.

That's the music video. Okay, so here's how I'm playing that opening riff.

G:----5h7----------------5h7---------5-|
D:--------8p7----------------8p7---7---|
A:--6---------5-8----------------8-----|
E:----------------8-6-3----------------|

In particular, the main problem I have is with the jump from low G to high C right in the middle. I want it to sound as clean as possible. Any tips?

Here's a video of myself playing it, if it helps (warning, it's 21 megs!).

The Recluse

What do you think? It's a killer bassline, either way!
