Dear Madam,
what if I replaced the vague word "damping " with "acoustic attenuation". Attenuation of sound wave (amplitude, velocity) increases with increasing wave frequency and propagation distance. This is generally true for waves of any wavelength and any medium, including the interstellar medium (vacuum).
Dear,
We are talking adding damping inside the cab or in front of it...? I wonder if adding damping inside the box it reduce the speaker sensitivity in any way ? (except if is pushed against the cone ,perhaps)

It does. It removes all (or hopefully most of it) the time-delayed hash coming back thru the cone. Will reduce the comb filtering caused by the primary differences. Smoother with less non-wanted reflection artifacts is often perveived as having “less there”.

I'll come back to whether or not a bass guitar cab needs stuffing!
There's no 'correct' sound for an electric bass, it's simply a matter of personal choice.
Some players prefer the sound with a full absorbent fill, others with no fill at all and others with absorbent on the cabinet walls only.
Also, I don't think that the resonance peak of 50 ohms is problematical. Such impedance variations are part and parcel of the overall cabinet response.
