To some, the pick of choice for the ukulele would be the Pickfeller. I would use this pick over the Fender Jazzmaster pick. I own both, and they both work for ukulele and guitar in different ways.
I like the Fender Pickfeller. It is very light and smooth, and it makes the ukulele feel like the guitar is a part of the instrument. It is also versatile, so I can pick strings with the Pickfeller and use some of the pickups on the ukulele, or vice versa.
But if you’re looking to upgrade, or are just looking for a different type of pick, there are many options available. Here is an overview of some of the more popular options as well as their pros and cons on ukulele pickups.
