PJ Pickup Matching Hints?

I've got my first PJ and I love it. The only issue that I'm concerned with is that a whole bunch of bottom falls out as soon as I max the bridge pickup, whether or not the neck pickup is engaged, set to max, etc. I'm aware that this will always happen to a certain extent, but in this case, it's difficult to even use the same amp settings with bridge maxed. The P sounds pretty distended if you switch to it after using both.

Any hints (other than raising the bridge pup, which I've already done) to mitigate this.
