That statement is neither true or false. As a bassist myself, I'd say the largest difference between bass and guitar is the mentality. Generally speaking, the guitar is in most bands the driving force, and the bass grounds it. Something akin to an anchor. While they are similar instruments, and the notes mostly line up, the appropriate usage of the instrument is wildly different.
