This is not true at all. Learning bass doesn't require knowledge of how to play guitar. In fact, knowing guitar tends to be detrimental, as most guitarists playing bass will be playing it as if it was a guitar, not as the instrument it actually is.

Of course, many bassists start out on guitar, but that doesn't mean knowing guitar is a requirement.
