Thinking about learning to play bass guitar (lemmy.world)

Hi, I am hobbyist musician. I play keyboards and I know bit of music theory. I am thinking about playing bass guitar.

My question is do I have to learn to play regular guitar (6 strings) or can I jump straight into the bass guitar (4 strings)

TIA

Bass guitar is a different instrument, the only similarity with guitar is that the notes have the same position. However, the instrument role, and the technique are pretty different.
