Yes they are, and they sort of roll under your fingers...weird, not helped by the very thin diameters.

TI Acousticores work extremely well on basses that are designed to take them such as the Rick Turner Renaissance. The RT has a relatively high action and an acoustic style bridge with through body stringing and a steep break angle over the saddle which I think helps. The feel is firm but springy, very much like a classical guitar. Very playable and contribute to the RTs wide dynamic and tonal range. But I can see that they wouldn't work too well on a regular electric bass with a medium/low setup.
