More Growl

I have a Christopher 200 laminate bass with Spiro Mittels on it.
The sound is good but I'd like more growl. Are the lighter strings more growly?

Thanks for your time.

It's also a matter of setup.
Action height, fingerboard scoop.
Also the technique.

You might get more growl using the Thomastik Orchestras.
Pay attention to what the other guys are saying though!
