Help me ID this bass!

Okay I found an add online for this bass. Looks very nice from the picture, and it is priced at $198.00. If this is for real, I'm real excited... looks like it would be a quality instrument.

Heres the picture

It looks a little bit like an ESP bass, but more flat and square... plus I cant find an ESP in those colours anywhere

EDIT: I got an email stating the bass is an "OPUS" brand

EDIT 2:http://www.musicm.ca/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=31_37&products_id=281
This is the website... doesnt give a whole lot of information... making me think its either a China copy of an esp bass, or the owner didnt put enough details. Either way, for $198, can I go wrong? what do you think?
 
Pretty sure that's a Chinese, or at least oversea import of some kind. There are a few factories over there that produce certain models, and you can import them and put whatever name you want on them. Could be a nice instrument... Or a lousy one. Hard to tell from a picture.
