I couldn't get the pickup working without lots of distortion/static
background noise. I tried it with the pendulum preamp. I knew it
couldn't be the pendulum so I examined the pickup and reread the
instructions. It says if there is distortion you should change the
battery.

Well, I changed the battery and the Pickup came alive.

Give the instructions another read. You may find that the pickup's
electronics are turned on whenever there's a plug in the jack. Or
maybe it's on all the time. In any case, batteries are definitely a
"first" on the checklist.

Glad to hear that you're making some progress.
