I was just wandering, does a magic weapon or magic armour have to have a +1 Weapon / Armor Bonus before it can have a special quality?

So, you can have a, say, +1 Keen Scythe, but not a Keen Undeadbane Scythe?

I got slightly confused over the Masterwork's enchantment bonus and the Magic enchantment bonus.

ANY magic weapon must have at least a +1 bonus before you go stacking enchantments.

You can have a +1 Brilliant Energy Vorpal Scythe if you want, but not a +0 Brilliant Energy Vorpal Scythe.

Thanks, that's what I thought. Just need clarification!

*nod*, note that is by the RAW.

There isn't that much mechanical reason for it, other than keeping the price of the enchanted weapon up. :)
