Through Tweed and Marshall based amps, it seems to be much less of an issue.
I find playing a LP through one of the Fender modelled amps causes massive boominess but when switching to a Marshall model the bass end is far more tamed.
I wonder how Joe Bonamassa does it since he seems to play a Gibson through a Fender more often than not

There are loads of tutorial videos online & best of all it's free and totally reversible-
I used this article:

definitely give it a go before spending any money or rewiring anything.
Is it both pickups bringing the flub?
What is the rest of the signal chain?
What is your usual main guitar?
Are you trying to use the same amp settings for that guitar and your Les Paul?
If lowering pickups doesn’t help the next free thing to try would be just turning the bass down lower at the amp.

Ive always had this problem with LPs, whatever amp I’ve been using. But the vast majority of LP sounds I like are customs, and atm I have a killer 2001 studio. Maybe my ears are just expecting something different?

Try lower-output pickups. If you're using high-output pickups they'll be more compressed and will probably sound darker and flabbier - I've been fortunate enough to try an original PAF in the bridge position of a well-sorted Les Paul and it was a revelation.

Agreed to the lower output pickups, although choosing could be a problem as I'm thinking LP standards It's Slash, Perry, Gibbons are quite varied.
