For B practice some fun can be had on Staind & Nickelback tunes, many country tunes(ok, pop country), Christian metal/rock(Kutless, Pillar, and others), Nightwish & Delain (goth/symphonic metal), and tons more. You WILL need either good speakers or headphones or both to hear it. ACME B2 cabinets work fine for it.
The band I'm with now has a 5'er in 2 tunes(covers with a great female vocalist sitting in with us) but I use a Line 6 BODXTLive's SubOctave to do it instead of carrying an extra bass for them.

The whole album is some of Nathan East's tastiest stuff.

Off the Brown Album, I'd say Shake Hands with Beef and Bob's Party Time Lounge, and always a classic winner from Pork Soda, My Name is Mud |

You simply have to tune 1/2 step up and there you go.

| | | | You could play Primus's My Name Is Mud where he only plays on the B strings.
All Korn song or Limp Bizkit or Nickelback. You could also play all song from Dream Theater Systematic Chaos album. |
