When I get new strings, maybe a new pickup, and a decent hold over making recordings that don't sound like complete garbage, I'll try to get a clip together.

Then, why don't you just tune higher (as in "still lower than an 8 string's lowest string but higher than you're tuning right now")? Maybe the E or Eb below an 8 string's F#? That would be a sure fire way to get a better sound out of it.
