It's not true.
If you've ever heard any Sex Pistols bootlegs you'll know it's Sid playing alright.
If there was a bassist playing behind the scenes then judging from the gigs i've listened to then he was just as bad at playing as Sid was.

He could actually play a small amount , Lemmy from Motorhead taught him.
He'd just play the same tune for every song.
