12-string guitar recording

I'm currently working on recording myself doing some solo instrumentals on a Fender 12-string guitar. Most of the songs are in open C or G tunings, and I'm finding that I get way too much proximity effect when close miking, but when I pull the mikes back, I lose a lot of the "sparkle" that the octave stings add to the music and the bass line goes out the window.
