Thicker Sound

I'm in a two piece band. It was, at one point, a five piece. I got tired of having to work my ass off to get people to come to practice though, so we decided to drop them. We tried to find other members, and we found some but they eventually left. So, me and my friend gave up on filling the spots. He's on drums, me guitar and vocals. The problem we are running into, which we really should have expected, is that we sound a bit thin, especially during my guitar solos.

I'm assuming it's my responsibility to thicken the sound, but I'm not sure how to do so. I use double stops during the solos a lot and I'm running through two amps. One of the amps has some naturally enhanced bass while the other has a brighter sound. They sound really thick during the rhythm playing, but when I start doing anything but that it gets rather empty. Any suggestions?
