Which input-syntax do you prefer for entering single bass-notes?
Please give a compiling example even when it does not what you want.

Otherwise, how about:

\layout {
  \context {
    \Score
    chordNoteNamer = #note-name->markup
    chordRootNamer =
      #(lambda (pitch lowercase?) (note-name->markup pitch #t))
  }
}

\new ChordNames \chordmode { c:7 c:m7 c:7/+c c:m7/+c  }

Cheers,
