best 12" cab for rock ?

I've only really any experience of the Epi ul112 - a lovely smooth response and very full bottom end - very good for finger style funk and jazz. If you're using just one, I wouldn't push it too hard. I'm not sure that on its own it would make a great rock cab, especially in a loud band. A pair might be able to cope.

I'm using two Purple Chili PC112's with a TC Electronics RH450 and love this set up. Again, a very full bottom end. I put mine on a short Hi Fi stand to give me a bit more control and that works great, as well as putting them at (my) ear level. The big, big plus for the Purple Chili cabs is their weight - 28lbs each in old money. Ridiculously light but beautifully made and finished too.

I'm using Aguilar GS112 at the moment - very nice. I haven't tried the DB series - from here I understand that the GS are a little more mid scooped - I'm a slapper so that appealed - but when rocking I just adjust the tone on the bass a little and get on with it!

I am wondering if I should trade in the GS112 and get a monster Epi UL410 though. Might be a bit silly as I'm not in a band at the moment!

+1 for the DB112.

I'm not just saying that because I own a pair, I genuinely believe that it is 'probably' the best cab(s) to fit your needs. Though I would add that a pair make a lot more sense than just one... they are better as a pair than the sum of their parts.

I've been messing about with the Eminence driver used in this cab. It's very good, and I'd expect the Midget to be very good also.

Why not just DI then if there is going to be monitors? And besides, I can barely hear myself if using a single 12.

Has anyone used a Midget on it's own at a gig then?
