the wire coming out the bottom of the neck pickup should be towards the bridge or towards the neck when placing the pickup in the cavity ? same q ofr the bridge also

I'm not sure that's correct. I recently installed a brand new nailbomb set into a friend's guitar, and the wire from the neck pickup came out facing the fingerboard (on the low E side). The screw coil was also facing the fingerboard that way.
Edit: The bridge pickup from the same set had the wire facing the bridge (high E side).

use a pole detector. it should be from bridge to neck S,N , N,S... i think :lol:

Yeah, looking at the back of the pickup with the BKP logo the right way up, the cable emerges from the left hand corner beneath (what would be) the screw coil.
So on the bridge pickup the cable should emerge on the bridge-facing side, on the neck pickup it should emerge on the neck-facing side.
Having said that, in practical terms it won't make much difference unless the Warpig is wound with a big "stagger" between the two coils (and I don't think it is...?)

Oops my mistake.
But as Philly said it shouldnt really matter tonally anyway
