Looks 90's to me.
I have played a number of '80's NJ Eagles. I liked them. Still have one.
I have been told that NJ's are better than the more recent Bronze series.
How many stamps are you putting down on it?

125
125 CAD, what do you think, I know I can go out and spend the same in beer, so it is not that bad, I just wanted to make sure im buying something decent.
The other is a Widow headstock.
Best headstock for metal !!!!

24 frets and double p? If the neck was anywhere near straight that would be mine already.
My NJ's had slim speedy necks. Go check that thing out.
Purely guesses here. 90s Korean made. I couldn't find a single thing with that exact serial number length. But if it goes with other years and countries of origin it could be the 9,178th one made in 94.
Again, pure speculation based in hints and clues found on the interwebz.

Really,any structurally sound bass that makes you happy is a good deal at 125 bucks
Hmmm. You're probably right.
Mine were/is Japanese with DiMarzios. So a little different, but I would still snap that up. 125 Canuck bucks are less than US$100
Heck, it's not even my "style" but I would snap it up for less than a hunnerd.
I wanted to buy one last year, but they wanted $200 for it.
$100 USD is a great deal for that.
The widow headstock is just a PITA IMHO. You can't find a case to fit the headstock unless you get the biggest sized coffin case.
Nikki Sixx used to play those, also with the double Precision pickups.
It's a great sound IMHO, those double Ps.

My cousin had one of those in the 90's in France, and as someone pointed out if I recall it correctly, they were Korean made (which is not a bad thing btw).
I was playing guitar at the time, and actually thinking about it this exact model is the first Bass I've ever played, loved that "clang" with a pick !
Ah memories...

I had a first run NJ as featured in my profile pic. It was neck heavy but played well. I replaced the bridge with a Schaller (Badass wouldn't fit) and the pickups with EMG's. Speaking of not selling your first decent bass....

Does that stamp start 84 or 94? According to the article, a guitar purchased in 1980 had a serial number of 82595 since production pushed serial numbers ahead of the year. If that says 94, it could have been made years earlier, possibly in the late 80's, especially if a guitar from 1980 was already 2 1/2 years ahead in serial numbers.
That's another reason I was purely guessing. That first character in the serial is hard to make out.
I'm more of a fan of BC Rich than an expert, but I do have one, and used to sell them.
That looks like a mid-90s model to me. In the 80s they generally used DiMarzio pickups or EMG, and I don't recall them having their brand name on the pickups until later. They were also fond of using Leo Quan bridges.
I also want to say that the 80s Warlocks didn't have the reliefs cut into the body.
That's my unprofessional opinion.

Are you posting in the right thread?
Also, sounds like it might be better delivered as a PM
