To simplify the expression \(- (b^{(1/4)})^{12}\), we can use the exponentiation rules.

First, we apply the power of a power property, which states that \((a^m)^n = a^{m \cdot n}\):

\[
-(b^{(1/4)})^{12} = -b^{(1/4) \cdot 12} = -b^3
\]

So, the equivalent expression for \(- (b^{(1/4)})^{12}\) is:

\(-b^3\)

Among the options provided, the equivalent expression is:

- **- b^3**
