Well it came from the factory like that. Seems there was a time they added that switch to turn the varitone on/off.

Not unless it was custom-ordered that way.
In almost 30 years, that is the first partial-active electronics circuit with an extra switch that I've ever seen on a BC Rich.
Does anyone happen to have a cavity cover plate for a 1980s Platinum Warlock or know where I can get one? It's the long thin one with rounded ends like the one in this pic. Any help would be appreciated.
It's a rare one for sure. From the serial number, it may be a 1985. When did you buy it? As for value? I've seen the Koa Eagles listed under vintage guitars for as much as $5500, but I wouldn't hold my breath on that one. Get in touch with a place called Elderly.com They have appraisers and are dead on.

With a completely different colour switch
You know Nothing about B.C.Rich dating, learn about it before spouting completely wrong Information
A; It's NOT rare
B; It's not a 1985
C; You can list them for whatever price you want, doesn't mean you'll EVER sell it
This Eagle was made between 20th August and 12th October 1981, NOT 1985
I have a Koa Bich 8 Supreme (1985) one of only about 20 ever made, I paid MUCH less than $5500 for it
hey guys. great thread. i really want more bc rich basses now..
i really want a 5 string mockingbird but ive never seen one.
i only have the basic bronze series for now (lack of money
)
anyway, this thing goes into a serious neck dive all the time, i love it my bass so, is there any way to avoid this?
like lightweight machine heads? maybe move the strap button? im not sure if anyone else has this problem, but if you have experience with this, let me know :0

you pretty much already have all the fixes Ive heard of to fix the neck dive. Thicker straps supposedly help as well.
Ive seen 2 or 3 5 string mocks out there...but they certainly are hard to come by.
Good luck and dont stop buying BC Riches man!

Use a wide leather strap and learn to deal with it, much better than moving strap buttons around
Speaking of 5 string BC Riches, I have another one showing up in two days...Ill post some pics when it gets here.
Ha Lorne, I have to admit your response made me do some serious chuckling!
Ha ha ha Bro, It took me a while to compose that in a non nasty manner

I think thats what makes it more "chuckle-able"
Could I get a number? I own an 80's NJ Warlock w/EMG Selects(P/J), and own an "L.A." model Bich 6string guitar(but more focusing on the bass). Thanks.
Well as promised a new member showed up today..here are some semi good pictures.
The flametop on this is just beautiful (and the bass is freakin heavy)
I present to you...a 2005 NJ Eagle 5 String!
