What do you know about Titans?

I was browsing through some esp basses today on ebay and i found some wholeseller selling a Titan bass that looks very similar to an f-104 except its way cheaper. Good looks and low price instinctively lead me to believe this is a very poor quality instrument. However, I'm not giving up on this bass just yet. So in short, can anyone tell me about the quality of this bass.

Note: I can only speak to their 6 string guitars, not their basses.

As a joke, me and my roomate each bought a Titan guitar, he got the Fernandes Ravelle copy and I got the jaguar/hss hybrid. On the whole the guitars are actually pretty nice, especially for only spending about 60 to 80 bucks each. He had me install some guitarfetish P90's in his guitar and I put a guitar fetish bigmouth humbucker in mine. After changing his pickups he really digs his titan (a total of about $150 investment). They are not pro-level gear, but for a cheaper-than-SX beater, I'd say do it.
