After a Google I do see used ones!

Good Death metal Bass?!

Spector has better growls, a lot of metal bassists use them (myself included)
As far as playing fast, what helped me most was doing a number of exercises and keep playing faster and faster, but making sure it was clean. Fingers or pick?
PRS. The one with the two P pickups, don't remember the model. Absolutely roars.
P bass is a good suggestion, too- meat with definition.
The most important thing, though, is that it feels good to you. A close second (or tied for first?) is whether you like the tone going through an amp set flat. After that, it's whether you like the looks/vibe/etc, if that matters to you. After that, the rest really doesn't matter.

cannibal corpse, Behemoth, goatwhore, cattle decap, former cynic/portal, Satyricon, Protest the Hero, Enfold Darkness, Despised Icon, Arsis, between the buried and me, pantera, and porcupine tree all use spectors. there are probably more, but i would need to check.
oh, and you can get the 4 string in 34' or 35' scale... the 35' is best for tuning to b. i play a 6 string spector and 5 string gary willis fretless in my death metal band. 2 completely different worlds but both are awesome for metal
Why is it that people who play metal music can't figure what bass to use? I don't know that I've ever seen a "what bass do I use for polka?" on here. 
Spectors can do it easily but you can do it with a Jbass as well. The Spector Performer is a good solid bass with ok EMGs. You can grab one for $350, drop a quality preamp in there and you're set for quite a while. I dropped a Delano Sonar 3 pre in the one on the left and that thing became a monster. Massive tone for around $500.
Try out some Traben basses John Moyer Havoc, or a Chaos, im sure you can dial in a good metal tone.
Dude, just play some basses. Alot of them. Then pick the one you like the best that you can afford. Somebody mentioned daisy rock. I think they were being facetious but it's probably as good a recommendation as any because with the endless selection of amps and effects there's bound to be a way to make it sound the way that you need it to.

Nothing smells more deathly to me than the infamous Daisy Rock star bass in pink sparkle.
