Is it more important to have a good grade for Bachelor or Master degree?

I hear so many disagreeing opinions on whether it is significantly important or not having a good grade for a master degree. Most people simply say what matters the most is the Bachelor's grade. Others also say that recruiters don't even look at Master's grade. So I am wondering, let's assume that an individual got a 1st class degree for a BA bachelor (non-target uni) and a Pass for an MSc (semi-target uni). Would you say that a bachelor's grade is still more important than a master's grade?
