What do you start your songs with first?:) chords, melody or bassline

I usually start with a bassline and then experiment with different chords. I like to make dreamy music and composing this way makes the experience interesting and enjoyable. Having good instruments also tends to help. A composition with bad instruments can sound really bad, but with good instruments, that same composition can sound really good.
 
It really depends on the aesthetic I'm going for on a song. Typically though, I tend to start with the melody and then start adding in everything else.
