Tiny hotel room speaker cabinet?

[Alby Bass]

Hey peeps...anyone know of a small speaker cab that I could use with a GK MB200 just to go over tunes (along with an iphone via the aux in)?
I currently use an ads L300C speaker but it's a bit bulky and heavy for my travel bag.
It can even handle a "B" string at low level but that's fine for a hotel room.
Any ideas are appreciated, thanx

For a hotel room I would take the PJB nano X4 and leave the GK head at home.

The thing is that I already bring the GK as a backline back up in case there is a problem there.

Most tiny drivers come in combos. If you really want to use a tiny cab with your amp, I'm afraid it's going bigger than a tiny combo.

The smallest PJB cab is the C2 - 2x5" / 200W / 318x197x275mm / 16lbs - 7.3 kg
Or you have GR Bass AT110 - 1x10"/ 300W / W31 x D34 x H41,5 cm / 11,2 lbs - 5 Kg

Both are going to be too big I guess…

I don't know if smaller/lighter bass cab exist?

Headphone amp seems like a really lightweight solution.

For going over tunes, I find a nice pair of sealed headphones are better than any small speaker for hearing details.

Headphones! Imagine being in the next room on vacation with someone wanting to go over some tunes.

The mb200 I believe has a headphone and aux input. That's the best option. If you want something new and shiny, the boss Waza air bass headphones are pretty cool.

Headphones! Get a good set and some type of digital interface and you're all set. As a bass player, if I heard someone playing in another room, I would be seriously unhappy.

Just use a good headphone amp with cab sim. I travel with my Darkglass Element and it's amazing, it also connects to my iPhone via Bluetooth, so no cables around.

Another +1 for Headphones. I use a Darkglass Element myself. Another option that people seem to like is the Broughton Messenger.

I think OP was looking for a solution to avoid headphones (some people don't like headphones), and I think there's simply no solution - no market for micro bass cab.
Headphones: yes
Micro bass combo: yes
Micro bass cab where you can plug a bass amp: no

Thanx for all the input. I should have mentioned that the entire band meets up in a hotel room occasionally to go over tunes. Low volume of course but we can never hear the bass. My current set up works great but the speaker cab is too heavy for my bag. It's made out of cast aluminum I think.
I was using one side of the iloud micro monitor with the irig at one point but it suddenly stopped working.

Barefaced 110?

Check out Phil Jones cabs.

Ask Rev to make you an 8"

My current set up works great but the speaker cab is too heavy for my bag.

What's the size and weight of your current cab?

One more vote for Phil Jones C2!

What cab for a hotel room? None. For a hotel room I use headphones. I hate it when someone has their TV too loud next to me let alone some jerk with his guitar.

I don't have a clue what I am talking about, but maybe a small monitor speaker at low volumes.
I would think any small speaker that is light will do the job, even a small computer speaker as long as it can go low enough and you keep itchy fingers of the volume knob.
If you can listen to music through the speaker cab and enjoy it you should be able to use it, it should not have to be a dedicated BASS cab to listen to sound. We don't have a bass cab that is hooked up to the stereo after all.
Trace Elliot Elf is a fairly small 110 cab but still a bit large to drag around for what you want I think.
