Don't forget diminished chords! They are the secret to melodic progression. So are major chords, but dim is just as important, trust me.
And don't think of your bass note in terms of the chord you have laid out.
Check this example that I myself have created to share with you.
Play a C major chord with a C bass. Then play a chord C-E-Gb with a D bass.
The goal of the melody now is to create something exceptable that will get from your first chord to your second chord. The tools for melody are dim and major arpeggios. And you have to put more progressions in the middle of course. This is a very simple and reasonable example.
